| Cure Models and Their Applications — Professional Development Continuing Education Course | |||
| ASA , Biometrics Section | |||
| Cure models refer to a class of extended survival models for time to event data with a cured fraction. They are particularly useful in situations such as cancer studies where a substantial proportion of patients may be cured and will not experience a relapse however long their follow-up. Cure models also find applications in other disciplines, such as epidemiology, psychology, public health and economics. The last 15 years witnessed a rapid growth in extending survival models to accommodate potential cured subjects. New statistical methodologies were developed to extend the existing survival models, and the newly proposed cure models greatly expand the applicability of cure models to various types of survival data with a cured fraction and provide appealing ways to interpret the results of analysis. This course will cover different types of cure models, such as mixture and bounded cumulative hazard cure models, their estimation methods, identifiability issues, software and extensions to clustered data. The instructors will introduce some real life data sets from clinical studies, present necessary details of the cure models and recent advances, and demonstrate the use of the cure models on the data with software. | |||
