A model that calculates the probability of cancer may help to rule out a lung cancer diagnosis following screening preventions – which would substantially reduce false positives. A model that ...

Breast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), or "3D mammography," was associated with a lower probability of false-positive findings compared with standard digital mammography, ...

After undergoing 10 years of annual mammography screening, more than half of women will receive at least one false-positive recall and 7% to 9% will receive a false-positive biopsy recommendation, ...

Women who received false-positive mammography results were less likely to return for future screenings. Researchers analyzed more than three million screening mammograms from more than one million ...

Clinicians should continue to counsel patients that false-positive results are an expected outcome of screening mammography. Age and breast density should be factored in when deciding the frequency of ...

High rates of false positive test results may be keeping women from sticking to recommended mammogram screenings for breast cancer, a new study has found. Researchers from UC Davis Comprehensive ...

Half of all women experience a false positive mammogram after 10 years of annual breast cancer screening with 3D mammography, a UC Davis-led study estimates. This risk was lower for women who had ...

Remember that statistical power is the probability of finding significance [as defined by convention] with a given probability [conventionally .8] if the original finding is real, that is, if it is a ...

While traditional multiple testing procedures prohibit adaptive analysis choices made by users, Goeman and Solari (Statist. Sci. 26 (2011) 584–597) proposed a simultaneous inference framework that ...
