Development and validation of accelerated failure time model for cause-specific survival and prognostication of oral squamous cell carcinoma: SEER data analysis.

The accelerated failure time model provides a relatively accurate method to predict the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients and is recommended over the Cox PH model for its superior predictive capabilities. This study also underscores the importance of using advanced statistical models to improve survival predictions and outcomes for cancer patients.
