Ranges

warning

"Spinal pilocytic astrocytomas are associated with an excellent prognosis. 10-year and 20-year survival rates of between 80-100% have been reported in patients who underwent gross total resection. For those with incomplete (subtotal) resection, the 20-year survival rate ranges from 70-80%. Recurrence occurs in ~5% of totally resected tumours ⁸."

Line 32:116 · Don't add words such as 'from' or 'between' to describe a range of numbers.
