Optimal frequency of scans for patients on cancer therapies: A population kinetics assessment

Abstract Background Optimal frequency of follow‐up scans for patients receiving systemic therapies is poorly defined. Progression‐free survival (PFS) generally follows first‐order kinetics. We used exponential decay nonlinear regression analysis to calculate half‐lives for 887 published PFS curves....
