Abstract | |||
We are investigating the role of obesity and diet related exposures using the SEER-Medicare dataset. We have examined a number of different exposures and nearly all different cancer types, including those of the gastrointestinal tract (colon, rectum, stomach, esophagus, liver, pancreas), oral cavity, larynx, head and neck, skin, lymphoma, leukemia, brain, lung, prostate, breast, ovary, endometrium, and ovary among others. |
