BMED 1300 Section B Group 2 Problem 1

Objectives:

1. Evaluate current methods for pancreatic cancer screening, including the effectiveness of the most commonly used methods. 2. Identify and make recommendations regarding potential future screening strategies, which relative to current strategies improve the sensitivity without sacrificing specificity.


 * Sensitivity** (also called **recall rate** in some fields) measures the proportion of actual positives which are correctly identified as such (e.g. the percentage of sick people who are identified as having the condition).
 * Specificity** measures the proportion of negatives which are correctly identified (e.g. the percentage of healthy people who are identified as not having the condition).

Guidelines for Presentation: 5Ws1H Clearly rephrase what the problem is that our team is try to solve What: what in technical terms. Who: Demographics, Credibility When: How recent? Where: Resources, Technical Peer Reviewed Journals (increase credibility), Impact factor? Why: "I think...BECAUSE..." support for every single thing mentioned. (numbers are particularly important) How: How does the methodology work? how can it be applied? How practical is it?

Rules of Thumb: No more than 7 lines of text Use images and tables! Always cite sources at the bottom of slides! especially for tables and figures End with a summary Slide and provide a comparison of all of the methodologies Include the Strengths and Weakness of all of the Methodologies Also include the possibility and practicality of Methodologies. Be QUANTITATIVE! and try to include costs 1 slide per minute include all team members names and preferably a picture on the cover slide
