About this title

Synopsis

Cancer screening is an area of great interest to many researchers and the evaluation of screening, addressing such issues as the accuracy, timing and cost-effectiveness, is the subject of much debate. Cancer screening is evaluated (along with most other areas of medical research) through trials that use a particular array of statistical methods to assess the effectiveness of the screening process. This book is an edited collection of chapters written by the world authorities in this area demonstrating practical ways that researchers can use to help them evaluate their own screening procedures. It describes the context and development of cancer screening and its evaluations, and the modelling approaches used to evaluate cancer screening, and goes on the discuss the principles of monitoring service screening. The final part of the book presents case studies and problem solving scenarios to illustrate the foregoing discussion.
