A tumour-marker combination versus second-look surgery in ovarian cancer. II. Mathematical model.
Long-term measurement of a combination of tumour markers, evaluated by discriminant analysis, is shown to be a highly effective prognostic tool in monitoring ovarian cancer. We present methods for the necessary calculations, and state results on error bounds.
