Published 12 November 2019 The scientific debate following the initial formulation of the “bad luck” hypothesis in cancer development highlighted how measures based on analysis of variance are inappropriately used for risk communication. The notion of “explained” variance is not only used to quantify randomness, but also to quantify genetic and environmental contribution to disease in heritability
Published 13 November 2019 Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) brings comprehensive insights to cancer genome interpretation. To explore the clinical value of WGS, we sequenced 254 triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) for which associated treatment and outcome data were collected between 2010 and 2015 via the population-based Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network–Breast (SCAN-B) project (ClinicalTrials.go
Published 14 November 2019 A principle goal of research in Oncology is to determine the optimal treatment for our patients. This often takes the form of comparing 2 existing therapies to one another to determine which is superior, or to introduce a new therapy and determine if it is superior or noninferior to the existing standard of care.

Published 15 November 2019 ICD codes are a highly reliable indicator of tumor location when the specific location code is entered in the EHR. However, non-specific side of colon ICD codes are present for a sizable minority of patients, and structured data alone may not be adequate to support testing of some research hypotheses.

Published 19 November 2019 In conclusion, umbrella reviews provide a comprehensive overview of a specific research topic and are very helpful tools to evaluate the certainty of evidence. These systematic overviews are helpful for the translation of research findings into recommendations, and also for identifying new research directions.

Published 20 November 2019 Chronic pain is a common, complex, and distressing problem that has a profound impact on individuals and society. It frequently presents as a result of a disease or an injury; however, it is not merely an accompanying symptom, but rather a separate condition in its own right, with its own medical definition and taxonomy.

Published 11 April 2019 Epidemiologists face two fundamental and interrelated problems when judging causality: knowledge is fallible, and studies are imperfect. In medicine, this will always leave a degree of uncertainty in scientific judgements. From an epistemological point of view, even randomized trials cannot be regarded as the ultimate proof to establish a causal relation. Given this inheren
