ABSTRACT
The cure models based on standard distributions like exponential, Weibull, lognormal, Gompertz, gamma, are often used to analyze survival data from cancer clinical trials with long-term survivors. Sometimes, the data is simple, and the standard cure models fit them very well, however, most often the data are complex and the standard cure models don't fit them reasonably well. In this article, we offer a novel generalized Gompertz promotion time cure model and illustrate its fitness to gastric cancer data by three different methods. The generalized Gompertz distribution is as simple as the generalized Weibull distribution and is not computationally as intensive as the generalized F distribution. One detailed real data application is provided for illustration and comparison purposes.
