Table 4 Specificity and sensitivity of distinction of melanoma from nevi and normal skin using the 56-gene profile template.

From: Tissue-specific gene expression templates for accurate molecular characterization of the normal physiological states of multiple human tissues with implication in development and cancer studies

 

Normal

or Benign

Melanoma

 

Predict-to-skin

TP: 24

FP: 5

Positive predict: 29

Predict-to-other

FN: 1

TN: 40

Negative predict: 41

 

Sensitivity = 96%

Specificity = 89%

 
  1. TP: true positives; FP: false positives; FN: false negatives; TN: true negatives
  2. specificity = number of true negatives/[number of true negatives + number of false positives]
  3. sensitivity = number of true positives/[number of true positives + number of false negatives]
