Publication of article improving survival statistics

Our article entitled On the use of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for survival analysis was published today in electronic form in (Biosystems, 2006, March) by Setzkorn, C, Taktak AF and Damato BE.

Dr Setzkorn has developed an original way to analyse survival statistics using data from patients treated for intraocular melanoma. This work should enhance the prediction of the chances of survival of patients with this tumour. This in turn will help us to reassure those with a good prognosis. It will also help us to refer patients to an oncologist if they are considered to have an aggressive disease.
