Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Oscillation and hazard functions
Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 2000 In the medical data analysis, the shapes of hazard functions are very important for the survival analysis. The simple dimensional hazard function is given by r(t) = f(t)(1 - F(t)), 0 @? F(t) < 1, where f(t) is a probability density function with its distribution function F(t).

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present two pediatric cases of pediatric low‐grade gliomas (PLGG) with BRAF V600E mutations diagnosed and monitored using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) liquid biopsy analyzed via digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), without tissue biopsy. Both patients were treated with dabrafenib and trametinib and monitored through clinical assessments, magnetic ...

Hazard-Based Nonparametric Survivor Function Estimation
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology, 2004 SummaryA representation is developed that expresses the bivariate survivor function as a function of the hazard function for truncated failure time variables. This leads to a class of nonparametric survivor function estimators that avoid negative mass.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

SURVIVAL ANALYSIS OF CANCER PATIENTS USING PARAMETRIC AND NON-PARAMETRIC APPROACHES [PDF]
Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2007 Exploring the health related quality of life is usually the focus of the survival studies. Using the health data of cancer registry in Multan, Pakistan, an investigation about the survival pattern of cancer patients was explored, using the non-parametric

Parent‐to‐Child Information Disclosure in Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Despite professional consensus regarding the importance of open communication with pediatric cancer patients about their disease, actual practice patterns of disclosure are understudied. Extant literature suggests a significant proportion of children are not told about their diagnosis/prognosis, which is purported to negatively ...

The discrete weighted exponential distribution and its applications [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2018 We propose a new discrete distribution namely the discrete weighted exponential (dWE) distribution. It is discretization of weighted exponential distribution.
