Traditionally, tumor response and duration of treatment information have been displayed in separate plots in which the subjects can be sorted by different criteria. In such cases, the clinician must work harder to associate the subject across the plots. Recently there has been increased interest in combining this information in one visual. Displaying the data together, sorted by the tumor response with associated duration information, makes it easier for the clinician to understand this information. Three-dimensional waterfall plots, which have both pros and cons, have been proposed for such cases. This paper shows you how to build a 3-D plot using SAS® that shows both tumor response and duration of treatment. This paper also presents alternative 2-D visuals that were created using the SGPLOT procedure. These 2-D visuals enable easier decoding of the data, which enables you to display more information in the plot.
