RE:Bored. Waiting. Here is some playing with data to look at. It seems clear that if a patient does not have a CR at 90 days the treatment is ultimately not going to work for them. That's 24 out of 57 patients or 42%. I don't think it's lilkely that all of these patients have upper urinary tract carcinoma, so why doesn't the treatment work for them?
It may not be of much interest right now but in the future maybe they can discover what is different about those patients, the NRs and IRs without UUTC, and find an optimization for this subgroup. Perhaps some patients require a greater dose of Ruvidar or a longer light exposure (within the limits of safety). If those patients can be identified ahead of time maybe more of then can be effectively treated.

I took the swimmers plot and other data to generate a table to see some patterns.
-What do the under-treated 12 look like?
-What do the patients who start CR look like?
-What do the patients who start IR look like?
-What do the patients who start NR look like?
I tend to focus on the pure CR's that stay that way as they are different than the rest.
Love any corrections or feedback.
