Who We Study
DCEG research is carried out among a variety of cohorts, cancer cases, and special populations including cancer survivors and families.
Research Approaches for Studying Cancer Etiology
-
Cancer Survivorship Research Unit (CSRU)
CSRU has the goal of improving the clinical care and quality of life of cancer survivors by increasing understanding of the adverse effects of treatment through trans-disciplinary epidemiological and genetics studies.
-
Cases and Controls
Comparisons of people with a specific cancer (cases) and similar people who do not have the cancer (controls)
-
Cohorts Developed by DCEG Investigators
Studies of defined populations that are observed over time, either prospectively or retrospectively.
