proc lifetest: how to modify KM graph

[ChiSAS25]

Dear

I would like to customize the Kaplan-Meier graph by removing the default title “Product-Limit Survival Estimates with Number of Subjects at Risk.” Is it possible to do this directly ?

Should I modify the survival/failure template to achieve this, or is there another recommended approach?

thanks in advance for any help

Another possibility, which will also give you control over things like the range of the y-axis and most other customizations is to output the survival dataset by adding the OUTSURV= option to the PROC LIFETEST statement.  You'll then be able to plot things with PROC SGPLOT or similar.  That said, you will then be doing everything from scratch, including adding text for the log rank / wilcoxon to the plot, displaying censored values, etc., so if you truly only want control over the title, definitely go with the response above this one.
