It has obviously been a very long time since I wrote that manual page.
I've now updated it with the following which will show up in the next
release.

\note{The study is described in Laurie et al.  A version of the data
  set with less follow-up time is used in the paper by Lin.}

Thanks for the prompt.

Dear R team, dear Prof. Therneau,

library(survival)
data(colon)
?colon

gives me only a very rudimentary source (only a name). Is there a 
possibility to get a reference to the clinical trial these data
are taken from?
