- Using Google Scholar, we ran a search of publications with both words “SaTScan” and “cancer” published during 2015 and yielded 156 results. Restricting the search to scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals in English, we found a total of 81 papers using the SaTScan™ software (www.satscan.org). This table summarizes the maximum spatial window size (MSWS) used in these 81 papers. 8 papers (10 %) erroneously (see reason in “Maximum spatial window size of reported clusters” section) used multiple MSWS ranging from 2 to 4 choices, with 50 % always included as one of them
