identified who presented at their first screening with PSA values less than 4.0 and who progressed to PSA values greater than 4.0 ng/ml 4 years later were included in this study. None was biopsied in round-1, all were biopsied in round-2. Relative sensitivity and specificity depend strongly ...

The EMR was queried using ICD-9 and CPT codes for diagnoses and procedures. We identified patients older than 35 years who underwent an initial PSA test from 1999 to 2012. Patients with a diagnosis of prostate cancer prior to PSA testing were excluded from the study. The Deyo classification ...
This study included mammography for breast cancer, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, digital rectal examination, and biopsy for prostate cancer, and stool test, barium enema, virtual colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. Of these, mammography and PSA tests can be per...
Using machine learning, we first identified the potential diagnostic biomarkers using these variables collectively in all cancers (ICD-10 code starting with C) available in the UKBB cohort compared to controls. Next, we identified the biomarkers for individual cancers. Two distinct control groups, ind...
