- Studies have shown that there are significant differences in cancer rates among different ethnic groups. For example, the Japanese have very high rates of colon cancer but very low rates of breast cancer. It has also been demonstrated that when members of low-risk ethnic groups move to high-risk areas, their cancer risks rise to those of the high-risk area. For example, Japanese who live in the United States, where the risk of breast cancer is high, have higher rates of breast cancer than do Japanese who live in Japan. What are some of the possible explanations for this phenomenon?

- ames has conducted an occupational cohort study. He has studied coal miners and their rates of cancer, and has compared them to steel workers, and their rates of cancer. There were 50 coal miners and 20 steel workers. 25% of steel workers got cancer and 40% of coal miners got cancer. Please draw a 2 by 2 table that represents this scenario. What is the AR?

My portfolio project is based on cancer as it it’s the leading cause of premature death in my county. Currently, through the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), the CDC supports cancer registries in 46 states. In turn, the NPCR also collects data from the supported territories/states and together with the NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, CDC’s NPCR collects data for the entire U.S. Population. The purpose is to monitor the burden of cancer, evaluate prevention/control, and identify needs for additional efforts/resources on a national, state, and local level. Also noteworthy is the two types of cancer registries, the first being “Hospital” which provides data used to evaluate patient care within the hospital, while “Population-based” registries typically fall under the state health departments and collect data for specific geographic areas. This process involves collecting/compiling data from facilities such as:…arrow_forwardGive your insights regarding present and future of biological therapies for cancer treatment.arrow_forward
