Over 1,700 patients with lung cancer, all under age 75, were eligible for the case-control study. About 15% of these persons were not interviewed because of death, discharge, severity of illness, or inability to speak English. An additional group of patients were interviewed but later excluded when initial lung cancer diagnosis proved mistaken. The final study group included 1,465 cases (1,357 males and 108 females). The following table shows the relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer among male cases...

Lung Cancer & Smoking Case Study A causal relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was first suspected in the 1920s on the basis of clinical observations. To test this apparent association, numerous epidemiologic studies were undertaken between 1930 and 1960. Two studies were conducted by Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill in Great Britain The first was a case-control study begun in 1947 comparing the smoking habits of lung cancer patients with the smoking habits of other patients. The...

Suppose you conduct a case-control study of endometrial cancer, with 200 cases and 200 unmatched controls. According to medical records (which we will assume are correct), 150 of the cases and 100 of the controls have used postmenopausal estrogens. (a) Construct the appropriate 2x2 table, and compute and interpret the odds ratio for endometrial cancer associated with postmenopausal estrogen use.
