Modeling of the Cure Fraction in Survival Studies

Evaluation of prognostic factors affecting long and short term survival rates of Hodgkin's lymphoma patients using the cure fraction models

Background and Aim: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting time and experience of relapse in the patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, using cure fraction. Material and Methods: This retrospective study included all the patients diagnosed as Hodgkin's lymphoma in the Center for oncology and hematology in Shafa Hospital in Ahwaz City from 2002 to 2012. We used survival analysis and cure f...

Frailty models with a cure fraction for modeling clustered discrete survival data

Semiparametric Transformation Models for Survival Data with a Cure Fraction

We propose a class of transformation models for survival data with a cure fraction. The class of transformation models is motivated by biological considerations, and it includes both the proportional hazards and the proportional odds cure models as two special cases. An efficient recursive algorithm is proposed to calculate the maximum likelihood estimators. Furthermore, the maximum likelihood ...
