Radical irradiation in the primary management of localized breast carcinoma.
TL;DR: One hundred-twelve females with stage I-III breast carcinoma were treated primarily with radical megavoltage irradiation, and survival rates were comparable to those reported by other authors.

Learning to rank by maximizing the AUC with linear programming for problems with binary output
TL;DR: This work presents a linear programming approach (LPR), similar to 1-norm Support Vector Machines (SVM), for ranking instances with binary outputs by maximizing an approximation to the WMW statistic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comment: supervoltage radiation therapy--promise vs fulfillment.
TL;DR: The advantages of supervoltage radiation therapy are its better tolerance by normal tissues, skin-sparing effects, better penetration so that greater depth doses can be achieved, no differential bone absorption, and less side scatter.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for characterizing subgroups and related survivals in cancer patients. Application to brain tumors.
TL;DR: A method for partitioning such survival plots and identifying and characterizing the subgroups and applies the method to a group of patients with brain tumors is described.

Lymphography as a guide to prognosis in malignant testicular tumours.
W. A. Fuchs,M. Girod +1 more
TL;DR: Patients with malignant neoplasm of the testes were treated by irradiation, supplemented by chemotherapy when lymph node metastases were present, and the survival rates of the various pathologic subdivisions were analyzed.
