Several landmark prospective studies have significantly contributed to our understanding of cancer:
Framingham Heart Study: While primarily focused on cardiovascular disease, this study has also provided valuable insights into cancer risk factors. Nurses' Health Study: This study has been instrumental in identifying lifestyle factors, such as diet and physical activity, that influence cancer risk. EPIC Study: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study focuses on the relationships between diet, nutritional status, lifestyle, and cancer.
