I'll start by saying that I'm not trolling.
Using conditional probability, or bayes theorem to calculate a conditional probabilitiy, does not make something bayesian analysis.
I haven't read the original report (it's on my list) but what is presented in this article isn't really anything except probability. It would be bayesian if they put a distribution on the proportion of people that have a "certain cancer."
