Title
Statistical methods issues for biomarker studies in cancer screening trials

Summary
I am working on the statistical methods issues for biomarker studies in cancer screening trials. This is one of the studies that one DCP working group is working on. I am the member of this working group. I like to use PLCO all cancer and all death information for the studies of the sample size estimation, power calculation, and cancer risk prediction.

Aims

The aim of this project is to do the studies for the sample size estimation, power calculation, and cancer risk prediction by using PLCO all cancer and all death information.
