Brain and Central Nervous System
DCEG researchers conduct studies on tumors of the brain and central nervous system, which can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Selected studies include:
-
Genetic Susceptibility and Brain Tumors
Study of common genetic variation associated with risk for brain tumors
-
Multi-Center U.S. Study of Adult Brain Tumors
A multi-center U.S. case-control study of benign and malignant brain tumors
-
Cellular Telephones and Brain Tumors
Studies of radiofrequency energy from cellular telephones and brain tumors
-
Occupational EMF and Adult Brain Tumors
A case-control study of the association of occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and adult brain tumors
-
Immune Function and Glioma Risk
A study of to assess potential relationship between glioma and allergy/atopy and diabetes in 4.5 million male U.S. veterans.
-
Pooled Study of Radiation and Brain Tumor Risk
This study is designed to improve our understanding of radiation-related risk for intracranial tumors of the brain and nervous system through a pooled analysis of studies.
-
Record-Linkage Study of Glioma
A study in Denmark of height and body mass index in childhood as they relate to adulthood risk of glioma.
