In this article, the parameters of the Exponentiated Burr type III distribution have been estimated based on type II censored data using maximum likelihood method with EM algorithm and Bayesian approach under Gamma prior distributions against the squared error, linex and entropy loss functions. Importance sampling technique and Lindley's approximation method have been applied to evaluate these Bayes estimates. The results are checked by simulation study and analyzing real data of acute myelogeneous disease. The Bayes estimates are, generally, better than the MLEs and all estimates improve by increasing sample size.
