Abstract | |||
We plan to pool four cohort studies of individuals who underwent CT scans in childhood. Data collection for each cohort is complete and by combining the datasets we will develop a dataset of one million children. This will enable us to examine important clinical and public health questions that the individual cohorts cannot address. These include effect modification and risks for rarer cancers like thyroid cancer. |
