Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) skin test in predicting prognosis in cancer patients
Abstract:
The response to intradermal injection of 1 mug of purified PHA was found to correlate with survival of patients with advanced solid tumours treated by chemotherapy, with responders surviving longer than non-responders. In patients with prolonged survival, the reaction was enhanced. Negative intradermal response to PHA was found to be less common in cancer patients than negative responses to tuberculin or streptokinase, and was more easily reversed by successful chemotherapy.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
