STATISTICAL FEATURES OF BREAST CANCER INCIDENCE IN THE OMSK REGION
Abstract:
Statistical patterns of breast cancer were studied in the Omsk Region in order to optimize early diagnosis and improve the effectiveness of treatment. It was found that the proportion of breast cancer patients in stage I in all age groups was 22. 9%, which was identical with that in the majority of regions of Russia (15 26%) and was close to the average population indices (18. 3%). For patients with disease of stage IV it should be marked the most significant differences in the smaller side compared with average indices for Russia for patients of older age group (17. 4% vs. 40. 6%). It was noted that in the age group up to 40 years there were revealed later stages of breast cancer, so necessary adjustments to screening program based on young patients were required. Due to limitations of mammographic examination of young patients the developments of alternative screening programs for this age group are actual.

Statistical Significance
Probability in Statistics
An example of a simple event is a coin toss. The result of a coin toss is either a head or a tail. Here, head and tail are two simple events. These two simple events make up the sample space. Further, the probability of an event occurring falls within the range of 0 to 1. The probability of an...
Distinctive Features of Adult Stem Cells vs Cancer Stem Cells
Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
