Chemoprevention of Colorectal Cancer

Jänne, Pasi A., Mayer, Robert J.·2000·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. It is estimated that this cancer will develop in 130,000 people in the United States in 2000 and that 56,000 will die from the disease.1 Surgical resection remains the only curative treatment, and the likelihood of cure is greater when the disease is detected at an earlier pathological stage. Early detection is the goal of screening programs that use periodic examination of stool for occult blood, with or without intermittent endoscopic examination of the bowel. Three randomized studies have shown a reduction in mortality of 15 . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
