Trends in Metastatic Breast and Prostate Cancer — Lessons in Cancer Dynamics

Welch, H. Gilbert, Gorski, David H., Albertsen, Peter C.·2015·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Interview with Dr. H. Gilbert Welch on trends in the incidence of metastatic cancers and their implications for both screening and our understanding of cancer. (06:57)Download Discordant trends in the incidence of metastatic breast and prostate cancer since the widespread implementation of early-detection efforts may reflect distinct disease dynamics or may result from the different screening strategies used.

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.
