Survival Analysis
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Survival Analysis'A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.

Natural history and outcome of optic pathway gliomas in children.
13 Dec 2009 
BACKGROUND: The optimal management of optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) is complicated by their variable natural history, the association with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and difficulties in defining progression and response to treatment. METHODS: ... Read more...
Prognostic value of proangiogenic cytokines in children with lymphomas.
13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis and proangiogenic cytokines are involved in neoplastic development. The role of these processes in lymphoma formation has not been established. The aim of the study was to assess angiogenesis on the basis of serum levels of ... Read more...
29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: This report focuses on the children enrolled on the first North American Intergroup study of APL (INT0129). This study was designed to compare the rates of CR, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity of therapy ... Read more...
