Se/Sp do not depend on prevalence PPV/NPV are highly dependent on prevalenceIs it Hard to Screen for Rare Disease? Amniocentesis: Usually offered to women > 35 yrs Efficacy: 1,000 20-year-old women given the test Prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities is expected to be 2.8/1000 Calculate: Se, Sp, PPV, NPVPossible Test Results# Test Neg= 990.5990.2.3Test Negative#without Disease = 997.26.98Disease AbsentTotal Tested = 1,000# Test Pos = 9.48# with Disease = 2.82.5Disease PresentTest PositiveSe = 2.5/2.8 = 89.3% Sp 990.2/997.2= 99.3%PPV = 2.5/9.48 = 26.3% NPV =990.2/990.5 = 99.97%Cancer OverviewMalignant tumor“The Crab”Causes of Mortality, 199605101520253035404550Percentage of DeathsCancer Circ Sys Infectious Other Resp Peri/NeoDevelopedWorldDevelopingWorldImportance of Cancer Screening Five-Year Relative Survival Rates by Stage at Diagnosis0102030405060708090100Colon &RectumMelanoma Oral Cavity UrinaryBladderUterine CervixRelative Survival Rate (%)LocalRegionalDistantCell transformation: precancer to cancerCancer cells to metastatic tumorsProcess of Cancer DevelopmentChange in the US Death Rates* by Cause, 1950 & 2001* Age-adjusted to 2000 US standard population.Sources: 1950 Mortality Data - CDC/NCHS, NVSS, Mortality Revised.2001 Mortality Data–NVSR-Death Final Data 2001–Volume 52, No. 3. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr52/nvsr52_03.pdf21.8180.748.1586.8193.957.5194.4245.80100200300400500600HeartDiseasesCerebrovascularDiseasesPneumonia/InfluenzaCancer19502001Rate Per 100,000Molecular basis of cancerCell physiologyFrancis Crick, Nobel Prize in Medicine 1962“ The central dogma of molecular biologydeals with the detailed residue-by-residue transfer of sequential information.
