Background During the COVID-19 lockdown, referrals via the 2-week-wait urgent pathway
for suspected cancer in England, UK, are reported to have decreased by up to 84%. We …

Novel cancer therapies are associated with survival patterns that differ from established
therapies, which may include survival curves that plateau after a certain follow-up time point …

Background Prognostic models incorporating survival analysis predict the risk (ie,
probability) of experiencing a future event over a specific time period. In 2002, Royston and …

Cure Models: Methods, Applications and Implementation is the first book in the last 25 years
that provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the basics of modern cure …

Background Few studies have estimated the probability of being cured for cancer patients.
This study aims to estimate population-based indicators of cancer cure in Europe by type …

Objective To evaluate the impact of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) prioritisation to
mitigate the impact of delays in the colorectal cancer (CRC) urgent diagnostic (2-week-wait …

If interest lies in reporting absolute measures of risk from time-to-event data then obtaining
an appropriate approximation to the shape of the underlying hazard function is vital. It has …

A useful summary measure for survival data is the expectation of life, which is calculated by
obtaining the area under a survival curve. The loss in expectation of life due to a certain type …

Survival analysis modelling approaches are often required to capture the survival functions
seen in clinical trial data and to further extrapolate to estimate lifetime benefits in economic …

Background: The increasing number of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors need survival
estimates that account for the time already survived. The aim of this population-based study …
