Medicine is a field which is based on statistical analysis of thousands of patient outcomes. This is very apparent in the field of cancer treatment.In order to research and evaluate various cancer treatments, it's important to be able to understand some medical statistical terms. The goal of this article is to help you comprehend some of the more commonly used medical statistical terms.The exact outcome of any particular patients is, of course, impossible to predict with any degree of certainty. The reality is that cancer mortality rates are based on the statistical analysis of a large number of patients who have had the same cancer. Remember, medical statistics are only probabilities.

From the desk of Dr Magne, author of Cancer Free For LifeThe power of your mind over functions of your body is widely acknowledged. Medical studies that measure the effectiveness of treatment have proved that patients often improve even when the pill they are taking is only a sugar pill. This is because they believe that the pill they are taking will heal them. This phenomenon is known as the placebo effect. In fact, in drug trials, the health improvements in the placebo group are often as significant as those in the group receiving the actual drug.The placebo effect is the measurable, observable, or felt improvement in health not attributable to treatment. A placebo is a medication or treatment believed by the administrator of the treatment to have no power. Placebos may be sugar pills or starch pills. Even "fake" surgery and "fake" psychotherapy are considered placebos.A medical doctor may have results with a patient on the force of his conviction, and because the patient places his trust -and his life- in the hands of the medical profession, he believes that the doctor cured him, when in fact, he cured himself.No matter what, you're healed through your own intervention and...more
