Cancer screening part 2: Validity - sensitivity and specificity

[@rgvn5]

Lovely videos!! I just had a statistics exam and I had to memorize when it's a true positive, true negative, false positive, and true negative. For some reason when I saw your video it suddenly clicked why it is called the way it is called. I no longer have to memorize I can use the terms by their names without thinking too much :D Thank you!

Great video! Maybe you should have included a bit on the predictive values of tests as well? Also a minor correction: You calculated the Specificity at 5:02 to be 96% even though it actually is 92%.

Hasan Imran Mirza thanks! You're right, I'll add a correction

Hi, would it be okay with you if I used some of the content from this oncology series to include in my EPQ. In order to do so, I would require your name and some background info (such as 3rd year medicinal student etc) Thank you!

Yeah no problem - my name is Dr Jack Murrell, I'm currently a trust grade doctor at imperial college healthcare NHS trust
