confidence intervals, covariate analyses?
The standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) computed until the time of first immunomodulatory treatment were 0.60 (95% CI, 0.38-0.92, p = 0.02) for all female cancer, and 1.11 (95% CI, 0.64-1.91) for all male cancer. Time-dependent covariate analyses for female breast cancer yielded a relative risk for drug1 of 3.10 (95% CI, 0.86-11.1) and 0.52 (95% CI, 0.07-4.05) for drug2.
1) How likely would female patient on drug1 get breast cancer ?
3.10 divided 0.52, 6 times ?
2) How could one calculate relative risk of female BC for patient on no drugs ?
Correction:
1) How MUCH MORE likely would female patient on drug1 get breast cancer THAN PATIENT ON drug2 ?
1) ANSWER: Likelihood of female patient on drug1 get breast cancer is 3.10 with a (95% CI, 0.86-11.1)
2) ANSWER: Relative risk of female to get breast cancer is 0.60 (95% CI, 0.38-0.92,

Wearing The Breast Cancer Bracelet As Support
Breast cancer is a major health threat to women around the world. The number of women affected by breast cancer is shooting up every year. The sad thing is early diagnosis and treatment can lead to an almost 100 per cent cure rate among those affected by this illness.
Often the problem is not the unavailability of treatment for breast cancer, but late diagnosis. Awareness of the symptoms of breast cancer is the only way to assure that every person with the disease will get an early diagnosis. Many charities and cancer foundations have launched breast cancer awareness programs with this fact in mind.
The mass appeal of the LiveStrong yellow cancer bracelets from the Lance Armstrong foundation led breast cancer foundations to launch the breast cancer awareness bracelets. Pink was chosen as the color for these bracelets as an expression of the feminine character. Currently millions

Breast Cancer Treatment Algorithm
This recommendation obviously conflicts with those of the American Cancer Society (ACS) and other groups.
Breast Cancer Treatment Algorithm
But many people wonder if the ACS recommendations aren’t some form of recruitment. After all, five radiologists have served as presidents of the American Cancer Society. The American College of Physicians, however, made recommendations similar to the USPS a couple of years ago and the National Breast Cancer Coalition has routinely warned women of the limitations and potential for harm that mammograms hold.
The USPS Task Force found that “Radiation-related breast cancers occur at least 10 years after exposure. Radiation from yearly mammograms during ages 40-49 has been estimated to cause one additional breast cancer death per 10,000 women.”
The National Cancer Institute states that among women under 35, mammography could cause 75 cases of breast cancer for every 15 it identifies. There’s really very little reason to have regular mammograms and

Vitamin D May Prevent Breast Cancer
There are two new reports by cancer prevention specialists at Moores Cancer Center, Univsrsity of California, suggest that vitamin D in new prescriptions may prevent up to one half of all cases of breast cancer.
The study is published online in the current issue of The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It pooled data from two earlier studies by the Harvard Nurses Health Study and the St. George’s Hospital Study that alleged that people with the highest levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D, had the lowest incidences of breast cancer.
The research was based on 1,760 cases of individuals in the two studies and divided them into five equal groups, from the lowest 25(OH)D at less than 13 nanograms per milliliter, to the highest group with 52 nanograms per milliliter.
“The data were very clear, showing that individuals in the
