How do researchers study the link between external factors and cancer?
Researchers use several methods to study the link between external factors and cancer, including:
- Epidemiological studies: Observational studies that track cancer incidence in populations exposed to specific factors. - Laboratory research: Experiments using cell cultures and animal models to understand how external factors cause cellular changes leading to cancer. - Clinical trials: Studies that test interventions or preventive measures in humans to assess their impact on cancer risk.
