Statistics Practice Problems Part 2 Understanding the Importance of Controls and Statistics When Analyzing Data A researcher developed a new drug, Herceptin, that has shown promise in treating HER2-positive breast cancer. Approximately 10-20% of breast cancer cells test positive for a protein called HER2 on the surface of the cancer cell. This protein plays a pivotal role in the growth of the cancer cell. Cancer cells are cells that grow rapidly and do not follow the normal cell division pathway, thus forming tumors. Examine the image below and then answer the questions. HER2 receptor protein Normal cell Cancer cell HER2 receptor wo 101 nom od protein 1. How does the cancer cell differ from the normal cell? What effect does this difference have?

Figure 17.15 In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is considered to be more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?
