Multiple Primary - Standardized Incidence Ratios (MP-SIR)
MP-SIR is a method used to perform multiple primary analyses and to test hypotheses that explore theoretical links in the etiology of two cancers. A defined cohort of persons previously diagnosed with cancer is followed through time to compare their subsequent cancer experience to the number of cancers that would be expected based on incidence rates for the general population. Multiple Primary - Standardized Incidence Ratios can be calculated in SEER*Stat
MP-SIR statistic types available in SEER*Stat
