Cancer incidence: life table risk versus cumulative risk.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To study differences between various methods of estimating cancer risk in individuals. DESIGN Information was obtained from a cancer registry. Lifetime risk was calculated using the life table method, taking competing causes of death into account and using well recognised methods such as the cumulative rate and risk. SETTING Regional cancer registry of the Comprehensive Canc...
متن کاملCumulative Risk Estimation for Chemical Mixtures
In reality, humans are always exposed to a combination of toxic substances and seldom to a single agent. Simultaneous exposure to a multitude of chemicals could result in unexpected consequences. The combined risk may lead to greater or less than a simple summation of the effects induced by chemicals given individually. Here, a method is proposed for estimating the cumulative risk which is the ...
متن کاملInternational comparisons of cumulative risk of uterine cancer, from cancer incidence in five continents Vol. VIII.
Cumulative risk of cancer incidence of uterine cervix (ICD-10: C53) and uterine body (ICD-10: C54) to age 69 was calculated with data from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Vol. VIII (1). Cumulative risk is defined as the probability that an individual will develop the disease in question during a certain age span, in the absence of other competing causes of death. The comparisons of the cumu...
متن کاملAssessing cumulative incidence functions under the semiparametric additive risk model.
In analyzing competing risks data, a quantity of considerable interest is the cumulative incidence function. Often, the effect of covariates on the cumulative incidence function is modeled via the proportional hazards model for the cause-specific hazard function. As the proportionality assumption may be too restrictive in practice, we consider an alternative more flexible semiparametric additiv...
