Cancer Survival Data Representation for Improved Parametric and Dynamic Lifetime Analysis
Survival functions are often characterized by a median survival time or a 5-year survival. Whether or not such representation is sufficient depends on tumour development. Different tumour stages have different mean survival times after therapy. The validity of an exponential decay and the origins of...
