I suppose my main thought is that if the records & subsequent statistics could show what men were actually suffering ( with/without current treatment )from P.Ca., then would such statistics such as "Death from ", alter a lot ?
Put another way; if the said heart attack etc. had not taken the men, would the problem of P.Ca. be larger in the statistics ? And it's just the 'luck' of another cause of death that shows P.Ca. as a running problem for many, but not actual straight cause of death ?
If so, it would be possible to reduce the statistical significances of P.Ca. wheras in reality it would be a larger problem for many men.
