The case–control study is the major epidemiological approach used to identify risk factors for cancer. This textbook explains the statistical methods and theory behind this design, and the practical application to specific sets of data. It includes chapters on fundamental measures of disease occurrence, analysis of grouped and ungrouped data, and use of unconditional and conditional logistic regressions.
