5. In 2006, there were 2900 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed among men in California and 200 new cases diagnosed among men in Oregon. Based on these data, is it accurate to say that the incidence rate of prostate cancer is higher in California than Oregon?
In the United States, among a representative group of 6,006 white men and 1,126 black men aged 70–79 years at diagnosis with stage IV prostate cancer, 2,337 whites and 344 blacks were alive after 5 years of follow-up. Compare the white and black patient survival at 5 years.
1. In the United States, among a representative group of 6,006 white men and 1,126 black men, ages 70-79 years at diagnosis with stage IV prostate cancer, 2,337 white men and 344 black men were alive after 5 years of follow-up. The goal of this analysis is to examine the association between race and survival. a. What is the exposure and what is the disease? The exposure is race and the disease is stage IV prostate cancer b. Set up...
Suppose there is a test for prostate cancer for men over 50 that is 95% accurate both for men that do and for men that don't have prostate cancer. (So the false positive and the false negative rates are both 59). If 1.2 percent of males over 50 have prostate cancer, compute the probability that a Steve, a man over 50, has prostate cancer, given that his test result was positive.

7. Among 13,963,753 males and 14,272,325 females, there were 20,734 cases of prostate cancer and 19,107 cases of female breast cancer respectively. Calculate the incidence rates of prostate cancer and female breast cancer. Express your answers using an appropriate rate base. [5]
Two hundred 200 healthy men were followed for the development of prostate cancer. After being followed up for 6 years, 75 men of the study sample developed prostate cancer. Another 25 men were lost to follow-up after being followed up for 2 years each and we do not have information about their prostate cancer status. The remaining men who never developed the disease were followed up for 15 years. Calculate the incidence density of prostate cancer in this sample. A....
In the United States, heart disease and cancer are the two leading causes of death. If you look at the death rate per 100,000 residents by state, the distributions for the two diseases are roughly normal, provided you leave out Alaska and Utah, which are outliers because of their unusually young populations. The means and standard deviations for all 50 states are given here. Mean SD Heart disease 219 46 Cancer 194 30 a. The middle 90% of the states'...
Breast cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy among women in the United States, and it is the second leading cause of death from cancer among women (lung cancer ranks Örst). A mammogram is a diagnostic procedure designed to quickly detect breast cancer. Such a test can exhibit two kinds of errors: One error is known as a false positive: The test incorrectly indicates cancer in a healthy woman. The other error (which is more serious error in this situation)...
