Clinical surveillance of cancer patients is necessary to ensure early detection of recurrence aftercurative treatment and to monitor patient progression. Although clinical guidelines commonly recommend fixed surveillance schedules for all patients, static intervals between follow-up visits may not be compatible with individual disease progression, increasing the risk of delayed recurrence...

A case study illustrates the application of a structured approach and tools to identify a new hydrogel for human cartilage replacement. These materials have multiple properties of interest, so selecting a new material (hydrogel) is a multi-attribute decision-making problem. Ten hydrogels, most of which are new formulations, were evaluated based on three attributes. The weights assigned...
