A note on the catch-up time method for estimating lead or sojourn time in prostate cancer screening. [PDF]
Stat Med, 2013 Models of cancer screening assume that cancers are detectable by screening before being diagnosed clinically through symptoms. The duration of this preclinical phase is called sojourn time, and it determines how much diagnosis might be advanced in time ...
