Sensitivity (%) | 25 | 22 | 25 | 19 | 28 | 38 | 59 |
Positive predictive value (%) | 89 | 88 | 89 | 75 | 100 | 85 | 92 |
Sensitivity and positive predictive values were calculated as described in Materials and Methods. Only two patients undergoing surgery had no tumor found at surgery; therefore, there were insufficient numbers of patients without tumors found to calculate reliably specificity or negative predictive value.
