Mixture models for cancer survival analysis: application to population-based data with covariates.

TL;DR: An application of a parametric mixture model to relative survival rates of colon cancer patients from the Finnish population-based cancer registry is proposed, including major survival determinants as explicative covariates and support the hypothesis that observed survival trends are really due to a real prognostic gain for more recently diagnosed patients.
