Is it sensible to screen for breast or prostate cancer? Should the
locations of cancer clusters be made available to the general
public? When a doctor wants to perform major surgery and there's no
chance for a second opinion, do you agree? The answers to these
questions are not as black and white as they may first appear.
Medical Illuminations presents thirteen contemporary medical
topics, from the diminishing value of mammograms to how to decide
if a hip needs to be replaced, to understanding cancer maps. In
each case it illustrates how modern tools of statistical thinking
and statistical graphics can illuminate our understanding. The
goals are to solve some vexing problems that seem perplexing, and
to make both the problems and their solutions clear to a
non-technical audience. The aim is to ignite in the reader an
understanding of statistical thinking, which, though subtle, can be
learned without going through arcane mathematics. And, moreover,
that learning about how to think in this way provides a huge payoff
in the deeper understanding of our complex world.
