Discussion: This study design, where controls are the spouses of cases diagnosed with a variety of cancers and which are analysed unmatched, avoids potential biases due to overmatching, considered problematic in standard case-spouse control studies, and illustrates that risk estimates analysed are consistent with the published literature. CLEAR methodology provides a practical design to advance local knowledge on the causes of various leading and emerging cancers.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:35 AEDT ]]>
