Bounding poorly characterized risks: a lung cancer example.
For diseases with more than one risk factor, the sum of probabilistic estimates of the number of cases caused by each individual factor may exceed the total number of cases observed, especially when uncertainties about exposure and dose response for some risk factors are high. In this study, we outline a method of bounding the fraction of lung cancer fatalities not due to specific well-studied ...

متن کاملBounding analysis applied to lung cancer risk
For cancers with more than one risk factor, the sum of estimated numbers of cancers attributed to the individual factors may exceed the total number of cases observed. In this study we bound the fraction of lung cancer occurrences not attributed to specific well-studied causes, in order to keep estimates of the less well delimited risks consistent with those of known risks. Available data and e...

The technique of low-dose CT (LDCT) is based on the fact that even with examination protocols that use less radiation, soft tissue-dense pulmonary nodules of a few millimeters can be detected. Compared to conventional CT from the 1990s, radiation...
