For example, in a 35-year-old man with familial polyposis of the colon, the distribution of time until malignant disease occurs consists of a probability that he already has cancer (which would be assigned the waiting time 0), a probability density of developing it in the future and a probability that he will die of some other cause before he develops cancer.

| continuous positive airway pressure |
A method used to treat people with sleep apnea, who temporarily stop breathing many times per night. People using CPAP wear a mask over their face when they sleep, and every time they exhale, pressurized air from this mask gently pushes its way into the mouth and re-inflates the lungs, effectively starting a new breath.

Through small tubes that fit into the baby's nostrils, called nasal CPAP, this machine pushes a continuous flow of air or oxygen to the airways to help keep tiny air passages in the lungs open. CPAP may also be given through an ET tube.
