R help - May 2009 - Mixture of survivals or cure models

Dear All,

 

I am desperately trying to find any R package that fits a mixture survival
models also know as a cure models. This  are survival model where the survival
function is improper  which also means that  a fraction of subjects are expected
not to expreience the event. A Huge literature has been developed for thes type
of models but I couldn't find any R package that fits this type of models.
