5. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men
and women in the United States. More people die of lung cancer than
of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. Lung cancer is
fairly rare in people under the age of 40. The average age of
people found to have lung cancer is 60. In 2004 there will be about
173,770 new cases of lung cancer in the United States. About
160,440 people will die of this disease. The population of the
United States in 2004 is 292,287,454.
5A. (2 pts) Calculate the annual cumulative incidence of lung
cancer in the US in 2004, expressed per 10,000 people.
a.)
5B. (2 pts) Calculate the overall mortality rate of lung cancer
in the US in 2004, expressed per 10,000 people.
a.)
6. (3 pts) The estimated prevalence of Chronic Myelogenous
Leukemia (CML) in 2013 in the United States is 70,000. The
estimated prevalence of CML is predicted to be 2050 is 181,000,
while the incidence is expected to remain the same as in 2013. What
is a possible cause for the increase in the prevalence of CML in
the US in 2050?
7. (3 pts) Women (1,788) ages 16 to 23 years underwent testing
for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) at approximately 6-month intervals
for up to 4 years in the context of phase 3 clinical trial (placebo
arm). HPV type-specific incidence rates were estimated per 100
person-years. HPV-16 exhibited an incidence rate of 5.9 per 100
person-years. The mean cervical infection duration for HPV-16 was
20 months. What is the prevalence of HPV -16 in this
population?
