In some instances, the occurrence of an event can be influenced by its spatial location, giving rise to spatial survival data. The accurate and precise estimation of parameters in a spatial survival model poses a challenge due to the complexity of the likelihood function, highlighting the significance of employing a Bayesian approach in survival analysis. In a Bayesian spatial survival model, the spatial correlation between event times is elucidated using a geostatistical model. This article presents a simulation study to estimate the parameters of classical and spatial survival models, evaluating the performance of each model in fitting simulated survival data. Ultimately, it is demonstrated that the spatial survival model exhibits superior efficacy in analyzing blood cancer data compared to conventional models.
