Endometrial cancer (EC) - screening

Endometrial cancer screening package.

class miscore.processes.EC_screening(strategy, sensitivity, p_hysterectomy, max_rounds=None, name='ec_screening')[source]

This process simulates screening for endometrial cancer. Any Universe with this process should also include an instance of the EC process. Example data is provided in the data module. Both the EC_screening data and module are toy examples for illustration purposes.

Parameters:

  • strategy (Sequence[Dict[str, Any]]) – The screening strategy for all women, with probabilities to participate.

  • sensitivity (Dict[str, float]) – The probability of the test not to miss each EC state.

  • p_hysterectomy (Dict[str, float]) – The probability of hysterectomy given the test result.

  • max_rounds (int | None) – The maximum number of screening rounds over all evaluated strategies. This optional parameter must be specified when screening strategies with varying number of rounds are evaluated.

  • name (str) – The name of the process. Defaults to ‘ec_screening’.
