There are a broad array of data resources, including both cohort and case-control studies, that are based at HSPH and across the Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. These resources provide unique opportunities to delve deeply into the etiology of cancer risk and progression, to integrate data on the host, genome and tumor in order to investigate mechanisms, and to translate research into cancer control measures. Below are a summary of just some of the resources available as part of the program in cancer epidemiology and cancer prevention.
