	What's New
		This statistical artifact is known as the Will Rogers phenomenon, based on a Will Rogers joke: "When the Okies moved to California, the IQ of both states went up." In research, this refers to situations in which reclassifying groups of patients changes the outcomes of both groups without changing the outcomes of all patients combined.
		The Will Rogers phenomenon of prostate cancer presents a situation "where all the biopsies are necessary and all cancers require treatment, as all have Gleason scores above 5," write Ian M. Thompson, M.D., of the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, and colleagues in an accompanying editorial.
		Referring to the phenomenon as "grade inflation," they express concern that score inflation "is a component of the more insidious phenomena of overdetection and overtreatment of prostate cancer." They point out that about 75% of U.S. men have had a PSA test, and more than 17% will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime.

		I will start to believe local treatments alone work when the definition of failure is a measurable PSA using a methodology that detects PSA down to.07 or less; and when you check PSA's every three months looking for failure; not once a year, and when your average follow up is closer to ten years.

		Rogers was a media phenomenon widely admired for his warmth and humor, which were delivered, along with rope tricks, in a boyish, laid-back, aw-shucks style.
		When Rogers begins to talk about how he left home to see the world, Ziegfeld interrupts and says it’s time for him to meet a girl.

		Yagoda touches briefly on the legacy of Will Rogers after his death, but he could have said a great deal more.
		His analysis, however, of why Rogers gradually ceased to be what he was in his own time--arguably the most popular American who ever lived--is very helpful.
		For instance, Yagoda insightfully points out that while Rogers was rightfully lauded for his wisdom and insight, his thought was marred by an inability to comprehend genuine evil.

		Rogers discovered his real talent when he joined Texas Jack’s Wild West show in 1902 as a trick roper and rider under the stage name ‘The Cherokee Kid’ (he was in fact of part-Cherokee descent).
		When he did, everyone laughed, and Rogers said it was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him as he discovered his comedic talents.
		Rogers once said, “When I die, my epitaph is going to read: ‘I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn’t like.’ I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved.

		Udall loves to quote Rogers, especially the comedian's line: "I belong to no organized political party, I'm a Democrat." If the Democrats are more organized now than in the past, Udall gives the credit to two men: one of them in San Clemente and the other at that moment in Tubac.

		Thus, e.g., the "horror stories" might result from or be favored by publication bias because if a hypothesis derived from observational studies is confirmed in subsequent randomized trials (which is the normal process of gaining evidence in medical research) then this is of no greater methodological interest.
		Moreover it has not yet been proven that observational studies, which are planned with the same methodological rigor as that which is accepted for the planning and conduct of randomized trials, will not produce similar treatment effects as randomized studies (see [3] for a more elaborate discussion of this point.).
		The main problem of observational studies is that it is difficult to prove both internal validity (which is brought about by the process of randomization) and external validity.

	The new TNM classification of lymph node metastasis minimises stage migration problems in gastric cancer patients
		The relation among lymphadenectomy and pN category was assessed by Kendall's partial rank-order correlation coefficient, controlling for depth of tumour invasion.
		A direct evaluation of the Will Rogers phenomenon was accomplished in the Verona series, by comparing the number of positive nodes actually observed with the number of positive nodes which would have been retrieved by a less extended lymphadenectomy (D1).
		In conclusion stage migration is of minor importance in gastric cancer patients, staged according to the new pN classification.

		Perhaps the key example of this is Jesus - who never wrote a book, never penned a sermon that got passed along, and never mass produced lecture notes for his student-disciples to copy and memorise for the test.
		The early experiences of Sample relate to the title of his text - when he took his first philosophy course, he was expecting the home-spun `philosophy' of people like Will Rogers, wisdom stories like Uncle Remus, and oratory skills like Minnie Pearl.
		He explores the phenomenon of "educated" persons dismissing the working class (who typically make up the oral culture) as backwards and superstitious, and the working class dismissing the former as impractical fools.
