Title
Developing an all-cancer risk model for methodologic research on sampling designs for epidemiologic studies
Summary
We are developing novel efficient epidemiologic sampling designs that collect biospecimens only on an informative subsample. The ideal people to collect biospecimens on are those at highest risk of cancer. We would like to develop an all-cancer risk model purely to examine the value of our new methodology.
Aims
Develop a Cox model for all-cancer risk given key risk factors in common to most cancers (age, sex, race, smoking, BMI, etc)
