“…In order to carry out our survival meta-analysis, the survival curves published in the various clinical studies were analysed by the method of Fine et al (1993). This method allows one to determine the distribution of the events and of the terminations of follow-up (i.e.…”

“…With standard therapy consisting of maximal surgical resection followed by involved‐field radiation and chemotherapy, the median and 2‐year survival for glioblastoma multiforme are 12 months and 10% respectively. ( 1 , 2 ) Recent advances in chemotherapy have increased survival in glioblastoma, especially for patients with favorable prognostic factors. ( 3 – 5 ) Unfortunately, these patients are at high risk of late radiation toxicity, including radiation necrosis and neurocognitive deficits (3) .…”

“…In our analysis of the trials by Fisher et al (1993) and Montserrat et al (1996), each of the two survival curves (treatment group and controls) was analysed by the approximate method described by Fine et al (1993) in order to convert the aggregate survival data that had originally been published in graphical form into values of individual survival. This method determines the distribution over time of deaths and of terminations of follow-up (i.e.…”

“…This approximated method for constructing individual survival times has often been used in previous retrospective overviews and in meta-analyses of survival data (Fine et al, 1993;Messori et al, 1994;Bardelli et al, 1995;Trallori et al, 1995;Ferradina et al, 1997;Messori et al, 1999aMessori et al, , 1999b. The computer programme implementing this method has been recently published (Messori et al, 2000).…”
