Individuals 50 to 70 year olds will be screened with the Hemoccult test. In this
test, a stool sample is tested for the presence of blood.
The Hemoccult test has a sensitivity of 75%.
a. If Nottingham has a prevalence of 12/1.000 for colon cancer, what is the
positive predictive value of the test?
b. If the Hemoccult test result is negative, no further testing is done. If the
Hemoccult test result is positive, the individual will have a second stool
sample tested with the Hemoccult II test. If the second sample also test
positive for blood, the individual will be referred for more extensive
evaluation. What is the effect on net sensitivity and net specificity of this
method of screening?
