Department of Community Health Sciences, Brock University, St Catharines, ON, Canada
N Engl J Med 368:728-36. 2013..Use of an accurate model that incorporates additional risk factors to select persons for screening may identify more persons who have lung cancer or in whom lung cancer will develop...
Lung cancer risk prediction: Prostate, Lung, Colorectal And Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial models and validationC Martin Tammemagi
Department of Community Health Sciences, Brock University, 500 Glenridge Ave, St Catharines, ON, Canada
J Natl Cancer Inst 103:1058-68. 2011..Identification of individuals at high risk for lung cancer should be of value to individuals, patients, clinicians, and researchers. Existing prediction models have only modest capabilities to classify persons at risk accurately...
Incremental value of pulmonary function and sputum DNA image cytometry in lung cancer risk predictionMartin C Tammemagi
Department of Community Health Sciences, Brock University, St Catharines, Ontario L2S 3A1, Canada
Cancer Prev Res (Phila) 4:552-61. 2011..732-0.815), respectively. Model 2 versus 1 had a NRI of 12.6% (P < 0.0001) and model 3 versus 2 had a NRI of 3.1% (P = 0.059). Spirometry and SDIC data substantially and minimally improved lung cancer prediction, respectively...
Secondhand smoke as a potential cause of chronic rhinosinusitis: a case-control studyC Martin Tammemagi

Prediction of true positive lung cancers in individuals with abnormal suspicious chest radiographs: a prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancer screening trial studyMartin Carl Tammemagi
Department of Community Health Sciences, Brock University, St Catharines, Ontario, Canada
J Thorac Oncol 4:710-21. 2009..The majority of AS radiographic abnormalities are not cancer. This study identifies predictors of true positive (TP) AS and presents models for estimating the probability of lung cancer...
Factors associated with human small aggressive non small cell lung cancerC Martin Tammemagi

Josephine Ford Cancer Center, Detroit, MI 48202 3450, USA
Chest 125:27-37. 2004..The aim of this study was to determine whether smoking independently predicts survival in patients with lung cancer or whether an existent effect is mediated through comorbidity and/or treatment...

Josephine Ford Cancer Center, Detroit, MI 48202 3450, USA
Int J Cancer 103:792-802. 2003..Comorbidity count and the Charlson index failed to capture much information. Clinical practice and trials need to consider the effect of comorbidity in lung cancer patients...

Josephine Ford Cancer Center, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, Michigan 48202 3450, USA
Cancer 101:1655-63. 2004..This study evaluates the associations between symptoms and stage, the independent impact of symptoms on survival, predictors of symptoms, and the extent to which symptoms mediate survival disparities...
