A retrospective study was designed to test J.N. Wolfe's theory that xeromammographic breast patterns can be used as a risk index for breast cancer. After analyzing breast types of all breast cancer patients over a 4 year period at the Jewish General Hospital, Montreal, who had xeromammography prior to surgery, we were unable to support Wolfe's hypothesis. We conclude that an inherent bias in the design of his experiment led to erroneous conclusions.
一项回顾性研究旨在验证J.N. 沃尔夫的理论，即干板乳腺造影片上的乳房模式可作为乳腺癌的风险指标。在分析了蒙特利尔犹太总医院4年间所有术前接受干板乳腺造影的乳腺癌患者的乳房类型后，我们无法支持沃尔夫的假设。我们得出结论，他的实验设计中存在的固有偏差导致了错误的结论。
