Individual Prediction in Prostate Cancer Studies Using a Joint Longitudinal Survival-Cure Model

Patients treated for prostate cancer are monitored by periodically measuring prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after treatment. Increases in PSA are suggestive of cancer recurrence and are used in making decisions about possible new treatments. The data from studies of such patients typically consist...
