A study looking at ovarian cancer in women compared cases with non-cases, and found that 150/200 cases did not use birth control compared with 50/200 of the non-cases. 1) Create a table to display the data. 2) Calculate the odds of exposure in cases and non-cases. 3) Calculate the odds ratio using the cross-product ratio. 4) How does the difference between the two prevalences of ovarian cancer (75% vs 25%) compare to the odds ratio?

A study of the association of breast cancer with duration of
oral contraceptive (OC) use compared a group of women with breast
cancer with a group of women of similar ages who were admitted to
the same hospital for non-cancer diseases. From interviewing the
subjects it could be determined who had used OC in the past and for
how long. The following data were gathered:

1. A hypothesis has been proposed that breast cancer in women is caused in part by events that occur between the age of menarche (time of 1st menstruation) and the age of first childbirth. The hypothesis is that the risk for breast cancer increases as the length of this time interval increases. To test this hypothesis an international study was set up. Breast cancer cases were identified among women in selected hospitals in the United States, Greece, Yugoslavia, Brazil, Taiwan...

BACKGROUND & METHODS
The relationship between stress and breast cancer has been
examined in many epidemiological studies, the results of which have
yielded mixed results. One reason for these differences is the use
of different measures of stress. For example, death of a spouse or
close relative is a major acute stressor, whereas stress
experienced in daily life is more moderate and chronic in nature.
As these different types of stress likely have different
physiological and psychological impacts, the observed...
