From cancer patient to cancer survivor : lost in transition
TL;DR: From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor as mentioned in this paper focuses on survivors of adult cancer during the phase of care that follows primary treatment and recommends improvements in the quality of life of cancer survivors through policies that ensure their access to psychosocial services, fair employment practices, and health insurance.

The Italian SF-36 Health Survey: Translation, Validation and Norming
Giovanni Apolone,Paola Mosconi +1 more
TL;DR: Empirical findings from a wide array of studies and diseases indicate that the performance of the questionnaire improved as the Italian translation was revised and that it met the standards suggested by the literature in terms of feasibility, psychometric tests, and interpretability.

Impact on survival of intensive follow up after curative resection for colorectal cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials
TL;DR: The cumulative analysis of available data supports the view that intensive follow up after curative resection for colorectal cancer improves survival, especially the earlier detection of all recurrences, particularly the increased detection of isolated recurrent disease.

TL;DR: Urgent solutions range from re-engineering of the macroeconomic basis of cancer costs (eg, value-based approaches to bend the cost curve and allow cost-saving technologies), greater education of policy makers, and an informed and transparent regulatory system.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Edward L. Kaplan,Paul Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

The Sickness Impact Profile: development and final revision of a health status measure.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), a behaviorally based measure of health status, and evaluated its reliability and validity using multitrait-multimethod technique.

The statistical analysis of failure time data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a regression model for failure time distributions in the context of counting process models and showed that the model can be used to estimate the probability of failure.
