Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 23TYK
SCIENTIFIC THINKING The study described in Module 8.10 was purely observational; there were no controlled groups. Imagine that you are an oncologist. Design a hypothesis-driven study to determine whether mastectomy improves breast cancer survival over lumpectomy. What are your control groups? Would such a study be ethical to undertake? Why or why not?

Answer in 15 minutes no more than that-
Answer correctly and read the question correctly, I do not need an explanation to why these are the correct answer, I just would like the key answer please and thank you. If the question is done correctly, I will write a very wonderful and long review about you!
You have decided to combine your love of biology and your love of dogs to train dogs to detect cancer. You can reliably
train dogs to detect cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The dogs are able to detect the cancer simply by sniffing
clothing that had been worn by the patient and so there is no contact between the dog and the patient. Since there are
no risks from the test, and you know that cancer caught early is often treatable you are keen to develop your idea
further. What possible negative consequences would need to be considered before concluding that this type of
screening test should be more widely used? You may select more than one answer.
a. Risks associated with further tests such as biopsies to type and stage the cancer.
b. Risks associated with surgical interventions to remove the cancer.
C. Risks associated with chemotherapy used post surgery.

- Figure 17.15 In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is considered to be more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?arrow_forwardHere, Research a cancer caused by an oncogenic virus. how the virus disrupts normal cell function and causes cancer to develop. What risk factors exist that make individuals more susceptible to this type of disease? Are there any preventative measures that can be taken to mitigate the risk of contracting this disease? What therapies are available or being developed that combat this disease? what are the methods of action for all therapies available. ?arrow_forwardA study on the effects of a new drug tamoxifen has stopped more than a year early because of dramatic findings. The American National institute of health reports that in a trial of 13 000 healthy women, there were 85 cases of breast cancer amongst the more than 6000 who were given tamoxifen compared to 154 in an equal number of women who Didi not get the drug. Dr Richard Klausher , director of the institute said only through continued research will we find drugs which are effective and with fewer side effects. It is said that women who were taking 'dummy' will be given a chance to take tamoxifen instead. 1. Write in your own words why you think the study was stopped early. 2. Explain the method used [ Be quantitative] 3. Summarize the results of the study [ Be quantitative] 4. Was this a well-designed study? Give two reasons 5.

- In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?arrow_forwardBlack men are more likely to get prostate cancer than other men.

Following are several further results that you get from your cancer research. For each result, list the type of array or type of experiment that could have been used to do the study. a. Tissue biopsies were taken from cancer patients. Normal cells were found to have CD81 antigen on their cell surface but stage 4 cancer cells are lacking the antigen; confirming the microarray results. b. Out of thousands of possible therapeutic agents (drugs) that were screened, seven were found to bind to Annexin I. c. In pancreatic cancer there are gains in chromosomes 1q, 2, 3, 5, 7p and losses in 1p, 3p, 6, and 9p.arrow_forwardIn 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients.
