![]() Prognosis: As of mid-2009, International PPB Registry data for outcome in PPB is presented here. The data has the following features:
OVERALL SURVIVAL Type I blue, Type II green, Type III grey Statistics: Type I vs II vs III: p < 0.001; Type II vs III: p = 0.029
RECURRENCE-FREE SURVIVAL Type I blue, Type II green, Type III grey Statistics: Type I vs II vs III: p < 0.001; Type II vs III: p = 0.002
______________________________________months from ppb diagnosis
We arbitrarily analyzed treatment "success" for Types II and III PPB cases diagnosed in the last 15 years vs. earlier diagnosis. The results suggest that some progress is being made in effectiveness of treatment. These results further suggest that more recently treated cases are the best 'historical control' for evaluating the effectiveness of chemotherapy regimens being tried for PPB:: OVERALL SURVIVAL TYPE III PPB: after 1995 green, before 1995 blue; p value for difference: 0.068.
