A recent study found that 85​% of​ breast-cancer cases are detectable by mammogram. Suppose a random sample of 13 women with breast cancer are given mammograms. Find the probability that all of the cases are​ detectable, assuming that detection in the cases is independent. The probability that all of the cases of breast cancer are detectable is about

Solutions

Expert Solution

p = 0.85

n = 13

P(all the 13 cases of breast cancer are detectable) = 0.8513 = 0.1209 (ans)

A mammogram was used to screen for breast cancer in 200 women with breast cancer diagnosed by a biopsy and in 500 age- and race-matched women without breast cancer. The results of the mammogram were positive in 150 of the women with breast cancer and in 100 of the women without breast cancer. b.

CANCER CASE STUDY: A routine mammogram showed a large mass in the right breast of Mrs. H., age 42. A biopsy confirmed the presence of a malignant tumor. Mrs. H. was concerned because her mother and aunt had breast cancer. No metastases were detected at this time. A mastectomy was performed and a number of axillary and mediastinal nodes were removed. Pathologic examination showed several nodes from each area contained malignant cells. Given this case was considered to be stage...

Your patient’s mammogram is positive for breast cancer which has a fairly low rate in your state of 1 case per 1,000 women annually. You know from the literature that the mammogram test has a sensitivity of around 92% and a specificity of 95% depending on the study. What do you tell your patient when she asks do I have breast cancer. Show your work in both a contingency table and using the shortcut Bayes Theorem.

Breast cancer specialists use BI-RADS scores (a whole number from 1 to 6) to classify mammogram findings. A score of 1 indicates a negative finding, while 6 indicates clear malignancy. The data set mammography.csv contains observations on 950 women who had mammograms and subsequent biopsies. Of interest is whether mean BIRADS score is, in fact, higher for women who have malignancies. For each woman, we have a BI-RADS score and the result of her biopsy (benign or malignant) respectively as...

Literature shows that the incidence of breast cancer is 150 cases per 100,000 women aged 45-49 years old annually. The researchers want to test whether regular intake of vitamin D would reduce 20% of the risk of the occurence of breast cancer. They plan to recruit women aged 45-49 years who are free of breast cancer at the beginning and randomly assign them into two groups, i.e., group one: women in this group will receive vitamin D treatment, and group...

Patients with breast cancer sometimes die for other reasons. In a​ Nurses’ Health​ study, women with breast cancer were followed for 10 years and​ 2.5% had incidence of heart disease. Suppose the baseline​ 10-year incidence rate of heart disease in the general population is​ 2%. Assume a study is to be undertaken tracking women with breast cancer to see if there is a difference in the heart disease rate from the general population. Assuming the true heart disease incidence rate...

Suppose you conduct a case-control study of endometrial cancer, with 120 cases and 120 unmatched controls.  According to medical records (which we will assume are correct), 100 of the cases and 60 of the controls have used postmenopausal estrogens. Suppose another researcher is not careful about reviewing the medical records, and overlooks the postmenopausal estrogen use for 20% of the exposed subjects in the above study, so that 20% of the exposed cases are counted as unexposed and 20% of the...
