    This study introduces a new method for analyzing disease occurrence rates in carcinogenicity studies when exact disease timing is unknown. The developed statistical model allows for group comparisons without assuming disease lethality.

    Area of Science:

    • Biostatistics
    • Toxicology
    • Cancer Research

    Background:

    • Disease occurrence timing is often unobservable in carcinogenicity studies.
    • Survival/sacrifice experiments are crucial for nonparametric inference.
    • Multistate models are needed to account for disease development and death.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a statistical framework for nonparametric inference of disease occurrence rates.
    • To address identifiability and estimability in survival/sacrifice experiments.
    • To create a method for comparing disease development between groups without disease lethality assumptions.

    Main Methods:

    • A multistate model for disease progression and mortality was employed.
    • An Expectation-Maximization (EM) type algorithm was developed for maximum likelihood estimation.

  • A score test was formulated for comparing disease development between two groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Interval hazards for disease occurrence are identifiable within intervals defined by sacrifice times.
    • The proposed EM algorithm provides maximum likelihood estimates for the model parameters.
    • The score test allows for group comparisons irrespective of disease lethality.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed multistate model and estimation algorithm are effective for analyzing disease occurrence in survival/sacrifice experiments.
    • The score test provides a robust method for comparing disease development between groups.
    • This approach enhances the analysis of carcinogenicity studies where disease onset is not directly observed.
