The average long-term proportion of repeat spawners among the spawning stocks has been 5%, but has increased in the last decade (Niemelä et al. 2006).
Such transition matrices can represent stochastic processes and thus facilitate modelling uncertainty in rotations, and forecasting of the long-term proportions of each crop in a rotation, such as changes in climate or economics.
In the long term, the annual proportion of cervical cancer cases prevented is much higher when early adolescents are targeted.
It is difficult to give precise information because in the long-term the proportion of recovery as well as recovery speed are limited by the exchange between mother and bud, the amount of fluorescence bleached in the first place, and the fraction trapped in the immobile fraction.
Transplant procedures may be required for long term survival in a small proportion of surgical NEC survivors with failure of intestinal function [ 38].
Thus, it is unlikely that a larger patient population, e.g. in a Phase III-setting, would unveil a clinically meaningful improvement of the PFS-12 or the proportion of long term survivors by PEG-Dox.
In summary, multimodality treatment including surgery, IOERT and EBRT resulted in encouraging LC and long term OS in a substantial proportion of locally recurrent rectal cancer patients, especially if free margins could be achieved.
However, aggressive local treatment including surgery, IORT and chemoradiation resulted in encouraging local control, median overall survival and a substantial proportion of long term survivors in our cohort with acceptable toxicity.
Although there are anecdotal reports of successful pregnancies following the use of cryopreserved semen in men with Hodgkin's disease (Scammell et al, 1985; Redman et al, 1987; Milligan et al, 1989), to our knowledge, there are no published data describing the proportion of long term survivors of Hodgkin's disease in the UK who attempt assisted reproduction and achieve success.
Our methodology could contribute to assessing the magnitude of long-term change in proportion of a species in the community and to addressing the conservation status of species whose assessment is not straightforward because of a lack of quantitative data.
But long term trends show the proportion of organ donors dying from overdose has gone up steadily over many years.
