A follow-up study of glioma risk factors and cancer aggregation in families of glioma cases
An international cohort-based genome-wide association study of glioma
A multi-center U.S. case-control study of benign and malignant brain tumors
DCEG case-control studies of brain and stomach cancer among farmers in Nebraska
A study estimating radiation doses to the brain of pediatric patients undergoing neuro-radiologic procedures
DCEG studies of genetic susceptibility and brain tumors
Studies of radiofrequency energy from cellular telephones and brain tumors
A case-control study of the association of occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and adult brain tumors
