The main idea of upper bounding (3) is to use Rademachers. A Rademacher variable σ simply takes the two values +1 and −1 each with probability 1/2. Let σ1, . . . , σn be n independent Rademachers that are also independent of X1, . . . , Xn and X ′ 1, . . . , X ′ n. For each i, note that the distribution of f(Xi)−f(X ′ i) is the same as the distribution of f(X ′ i)− f(Xi). Therefore, the distrib...

Cancer Statistics in Korea: Incidence, Mortality, Survival, and Prevalence in 2014

PURPOSE This study presents the 2015 nationwide cancer statistics in Korea, including the incidence, survival, prevalence, and mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cancer incidence data from 1999 to 2015 was obtained from the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database and followed until December 31, 2016. Mortality data from 1983 to 2015 were obtained from Statistics Korea. The prevalence was defin...

Pancreatic cancer in 2014.

The incidence of pancreatic carcinoma has markedly increased over the past several decades and now it ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Despite the high mortality rate associated with pancreatic cancer, its etiology is poorly understood. The landscape in treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma changed in 2010 with the comparison of 5-fluorouracil, le...
