Season of breast cancer diagnosis and probability of death from breast cancer in the United States

This could indicate a seasonally protective mechanism, possibly due to the higher vitamin D status in the autumn. We investigate whether long-term survival in the United States is affected by the season of diagnosis of breast cancer.
