This article presents an analysis of a survival study involving women with a history of breast cancer and either no nodal metastases, nodal micrometastases or nodal macrometastases, for the purpose of determining approximate life insurance ratings. In addition, a modification to the traditional method of determining the mortality rates of a comparison population is presented.
