Incident Rate Limitations in Retrospective Observational Military Cancer Research

David R Sayers et al. Mil Med. .

Abstract

The unique jobs, exposures, and deployments in the military generate questions regarding cancer risks; however, incidence rates alone from retrospective observational studies provide limited information. Incorporating screening rates, staging, and mortality rates allows a more comprehensive perspective regarding cancer risk in the military.
