The following information is about Specificity.
Specificity Defined
The probability that a diagnostic test can correctly identify the absence of a particular disease assuming the proper conduct of the test; specifically, the number of true negative results divided by the sum of the true negative results and the false positive results; a method that detects 95% of true PCa cases is highly sensitive, but if it also falsely indicates that 40% of those who do not have PCa do have PCa then its specificity is 60%, rather poor; see sensitivity.
This definition is in context to Prostate Cancer. See more contextual defintions for Specificity.
