[ES] El presente Trabajo de Fin de Grado trata, en primera instancia, de proporcionar una visión detallada sobre los diferentes tipos de cáncer en mujeres, detallando los más padecidos entre ellas y facilitando una serie de datos relacionados con la incidencia, la mortalidad y la prevalencia a cinco años. Además de analizar los diversos factores que favorecen la aparición del cáncer en las personas. En la segunda parte del trabajo, se analiza a través de la especificación y estimación de modelos paramétricos, el efecto de diferentes variables sobre la supervivencia a esta enfermedad en las mujeres. Entre las variables que se han tenido en cuenta están la edad en el momento en que se diagnostica el cáncer, el tamaño del mismo y el grado, además de variables como la raza, si la mujer es de origen hispano y el estado civil. Los datos utilizados en el presente trabajo han sido obtenidos de la base de datos: SEER CANCER RESEARCH DATABASE, del Instituto Nacional de Cáncer de Estados Unidos (2013).
