In a study comparing two treatment options for lung cancer, men with stage 2 lung cancer are randomized into two groups to receive either a new immunotherapy or traditional chemotherapy. These men are then followed for 1 year to determine if there are any differences in lung cancer survival rate into two groups. What kind of study is this? EPIDEMILOLOGY

1. You are studying a particular type of lung cancer, small-cell lung carcinoma. You are interested on driver mutations of this cancer, that is mutations that provide strong selection advantage and thus have strong potential in initiating tumorigenesis. You have access to primary tumor biopsies from patients, and healthy surrounding tissue: how you can best use these tissue samples to identify mutations underlying this particular type of lung cancer? 2. The mutation you isolated has not been characterized before; how...
What is the attributable risk of dying of lung cancer for smokers versus non-smokers?
It is known that smoking is also a risk factor for lung cancer and other diseases. Studies have shown that the death rate per 100,000 for lung cancer is 7 among non-smokers and 71 among smokers. The death rate per 100,000 for coronary thrombosis is 422 among non-smokers and 599 among smokers. The prevalence of smoking in the population is 55%.What is the attributable risk of dying of lung cancer for smokers versus non-smokers?What is the interpretation of the attributable...
