Journal ArticleDOI
Essential hypertension. A twenty-year follow-up study.
TL;DR: This follow-up study was undertaken to clarify the natural history of essential hypertension and to investigate the prognostic value of ophthalmoscopic findings and other criteria.

Prognostic implications of age in breast cancer patients treated with tumorectomy and irradiation or with mastectomy.
TL;DR: Local recurrences in the breast appear to be more frequent in patients less than or equal to 35 years of age treated with tumorectomy and irradiation than in patients older than 35 years, but overall survival rates favored patients treated by tumore CT/IRA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder.
TL;DR: Preoperative radiotherapy followed by simple total cystectomy and urinary diversion in a small number of patients with stages B2 and C lesions resulted in a 5-year survival rate in excess of 34 per cent, encouraged by this finding and believe that combination therapy warrants further clinical trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of a Distribution Function from Incomplete Observations
TL;DR: The product-limit estimator for a distribution function appropriate to observations which are variably censored was introduced by Kaplan and Meier in 1958; it has provided a basis for study of more complex problems by Cox and by others as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rationale for curative radiotherapy in mycosis fungoides
TL;DR: The incidence of initial complete remission is directly related to the initial dose of electron beam therapy, and patients who have palpable nodes, even in the absence of their frank involvement by mycosis fungoides have a worse prognosis than patients without lymphadenopathy.
