Patients were tested one-month after the clinical trial was initiated using a battery of neurological and physiological measures including a quantified thought disorder measure. The data are presented below where higher values indicate more disordered thought processing. Is there evidence of a difference in disordered thinking between the three treatment groups? α = 0.05.

The same is true of large, invasive breast cancer tumors and advanced stage disease; risk increases with weight, but higher rates are not explained by the frequency or accuracy of screening mammography before breast cancer was diagnosed. The study appears in the December 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Dr. Karla Kerlikowske of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and colleagues gathered data on 287,115 postmenopausal women who were registered in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium database.
