What Are Some Notable Cross-Sectional Studies in Cancer Research?
Several notable cross-sectional studies have contributed to our understanding of cancer: - National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES): Provides data on cancer prevalence and associated risk factors in the U.S. - Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS): Collects data on health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services, including cancer screening. - European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC): While primarily a cohort study, it includes cross-sectional analyses to identify dietary and lifestyle factors associated with cancer risk.
