Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in men, accounting for approximately 30% of all new cases of cancer and approximately 14% of cancer deaths. Despite considerable advances achieved in the ability to detect and treat PCa, there have not been significant corresponding decreases in PCa-related morbidity and mortality. Proper examination of prostate biopsy specimens by pathologists is critical in determining the type of treatment and predicting patient outcome. The goal is to tailor the therapeutic approach to the clinical, morphological and molecular features of each patient.

Nowcasting to Monitor Real-Time Mpox Trends During the 2022 Outbreak in New York City: Evaluation Using Reportable Disease Data Stratified by Race or Ethnicity.

Online J Public Health Inform

January 2025

Bureau of Communicable Disease, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Long Island City, NY, United States.

Background: Applying nowcasting methods to partially accrued reportable disease data can help policymakers interpret recent epidemic trends despite data lags and quickly identify and remediate health inequities. During the 2022 mpox outbreak in New York City, we applied Nowcasting by Bayesian Smoothing (NobBS) to estimate recent cases, citywide and stratified by race or ethnicity (Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, and White). However, in real time, it was unclear if the estimates were accurate.
