TL;DR: An analysis of tumor/patient characteristics and treatment variables in previous Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) brain metastases studies was considered necessary to fully evaluate the benefit of these new interventions.

TL;DR: Combined therapy increases the survival of patients who have squamous cell or adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, T1-3 N0-1 M0, compared with RT alone, and severe acute toxic effects also were greater in the combined therapy groups.

TL;DR: This study of malignant glioma patients used a non-parametric statistical technique to examine the associations of both pretreatment patient and tumor characteristics and treatment-related variables with survival duration and permits examination of the interaction between prognostic variables not possible with other forms of multivariate analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a nonparametric statistical technique to examine the associations of both pretreatment patient and tumor characteristics and treatment-related variables with survival duration for malignant glioma patients.

TL;DR: In a population of patients with unfavorable prognosis carcinoma of the prostate, androgen suppression applied as an adjuvant after definitive RT was associated not only with a reduction in disease progression but in a statistically significant improvement in absolute survival.
