Application of Mathematical Modeling in Survival Time Prediction for Females with Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated Radio-chemotherapy

Clinical investigations yield huge amount of experimental data which need appropriate processing. High degree of their variability decreases quality of prognostic and classification results. Frequently problem of strong redundancy of variables incorporated into model occurs, produces computational instabilities and in multifactorial models makes the appropriate interpretation of obtained results hindered. In this paper we present the set of mathematical procedures used in comparative analysis of two treatment methods for patients with advanced cervical cancer: radiotherapy and combined treatment of ionizing irradiation and chemotherapy.
