TLDR
The widely used Alkylating Agent Dose (AAD) score is derived from the drug dose distribution of the study population and thus cannot be used for comparisons across populations as each will have a unique distribution of drug doses.
Abstract
BACKGROUND Estimation of the risk of adverse long-term outcomes such as second malignant neoplasms and infertility often requires reproducible quantification of exposures. The method for quantification should be easily utilized and valid across different study populations. The widely used Alkylating Agent Dose (AAD) score is derived from the drug dose distribution of the study population and thus cannot be used for comparisons across populations as each will have a unique distribution of drug doses.

Temporal Trends in Treatment and Subsequent Neoplasm Risk Among 5-Year Survivors of Childhood Cancer, 1970-2015

TL;DR: Among survivors of childhood cancer, the risk of subsequent malignancies at 15 years after initial cancer diagnosis remained increased for those diagnosed in the 1990s, although the risk was lower compared with those diagnosis in the 1970s, and this lower risk was associated with reduction in therapeutic radiation dose.

Comparing the areas under two or more correlated receiver operating characteristic curves: a nonparametric approach.

TL;DR: A nonparametric approach to the analysis of areas under correlated ROC curves is presented, by using the theory on generalized U-statistics to generate an estimated covariance matrix.

Appraisal of methods for the study of chemotherapy of cancer in man: Comparative therapeutic trial of nitrogen mustard and triethylene thiophosphoramide

TL;DR: A comparative study of triethylene thiophosphoramide and nitrogen mustard in cancer of the lung and breast, melanoma, and Hodgkin's disease concludes that thio-TEPA was less active than HN2 (in the doses used) in inducing remissions.

Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study-IV: Results for Patients With Nonmetastatic Disease

TL;DR: VAC and VAI or VIE with surgery (with or without RT), are equally effective for patients with local or regional rhabdomyosarcoma and are more effective for embryonal tumors than therapies used previously.
