The purpose of this analysis was to examine whether age, race, education, or previous false-positive prostate cancer screening results ...
متن کاملEstimating the cumulative risk of false positive cancer screenings
BACKGROUND When evaluating cancer screening it is important to estimate the cumulative risk of false positives from periodic screening. Because the data typically come from studies in which the number of screenings varies by subject, estimation must take into account dropouts. A previous approach to estimate the probability of at least one false positive in n screenings unrealistically assumed ...
