摘要

A probability method to estimate cancer risk for asymptomatic individuals for the rest of life was developed based on one’s current age and screening history using the disease progressive model. The risk is a function of the transition probability density from the disease-free to the preclinical state, the sojourn time in the preclinical state and the screening sensitivity if one had a screening history with negative results. The method can be applied to any chronic disease. As an example, the method was applied to estimate women’s breast cancer risk using parameters estimated from the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York under two scenarios: with and without a screening history, and obtain some meaningful results.
