What Types of Cancer Research Questions Can Cross-Sectional Studies Address?
Cross-sectional studies can address a variety of research questions in cancer: - What is the prevalence of different types of cancer in a specific population? - Are there demographic differences (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity) in cancer prevalence? - What lifestyle or environmental factors are associated with higher cancer risk? - How do comorbid conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension) correlate with cancer presence?
