## Abstract As the treatments of cancer progress, a certain number of cancers are curable if diagnosed early. In populationβbased cancer survival studies, cure is said to occur when mortality rate of the cancer patients returns to the same level as that expected for the general cancerβfree populati

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents a general approach for analysing spatial survival in the plane. Two types of initial random events are considered: points with ΓΏxed coordinates and moving points. A small normally or tangentially oriented interval is moving along a ΓΏxed route in the plane, crossing points of initial Poisson random processes. Each crossing leads to the termination of the process with a given probability. The probability of passing the route without termination is derived. A safety at sea application is discussed.

A fine-resolution, spatially explicit, stochastic model was developed to simulate the dynamics of species cover abundance and pattern in a single vegetation layer wherein neighbouring individuals are assumed to compete for growing space. Each species in the model is characterized by a small number o
## Abstract Relative Survival is the ratio of the overall survival of a group of patients to the expected survival for a demographically similar group. It is commonly used in disease registries to estimate the effect of a particular disease when the true cause of death is not reliably known. Regres
