Abstract

A tumour can be either malignant or benign. A benign tumour does not grow abnormally and is not harmful in the long run. But malignant tumours love to grow and conquer the surrounding area and therefore will require aggressive treatment methods. The object of the present study is to perform statistical analysis of malignant breast tumour with the tumour size being the response variable. We determined that the tumour sizes of White women, African American women and other race women are statistically different. The probability distribution that characterizes the behaviour of the response variable was obtained along with the confidence limits. The malignant tumour size is partitioned into age groups and we performed stage wise and race wise analysis of behaviour of breast tumours.
