The authors of the paper "Myeloma in Patients Younger than Age 50 Years Presents with More Favorable Features and Shows Better Survival" (Blood [2008]: 4039-4047) studied patients who had been diagnosed with stage 2 multiple myeloma prior to the age of 50. For each patient who received high dose chemotherapy, the number of years that the patient lived after the therapy (survival time) was recorded. The cumulative relative frequencies in the accompanying table were approximated from survival graphs that appeared in the paper.
