If you start with the assumption that brain cancer's occurrence is randomly distributed, then sure I guess.
If you assume it isn't randomly distributed, those odds only go up.
Which odds go up, if you would clarify?
The odds "that some where several get cancer at the same time". (And by odds I mean probability, strictly speaking)
nope. they go down for some people and up for other people. if these nurses are the second kind then that is interesting.
The nurses did not have cancer. They had benign tumors.
