The National Health Interview Survey is a cross-sectional household interview survey. Sampling and interviewing are continuous throughout each year. The sampling plan follows a multistage area probability design that permits the representative sampling of households and noninstitutional group quarters (e.g., college dormitories). NHIS addresses topics such as health status, use of health services,...

The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) is a longitudinal national health study sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) that focuses on strategies for preventing heart disease, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women in the United States. The study includes data from 161,808 women aged 50-79 years old at the time of enrollment. Available...

The Nurses' Health Studies (NHS) are long-running, questionnaire-based studies on women's health. The study was initiated in 1976 with the NHS cohort. The initial studies focus on cancer, cardiovascular disease and risk factors for chronic health issues in women. The latest cohort, NH3, has been expanded to include both male and female registered nurses and nursing students. Survey and biospecimen...

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is the authoritative source of information on cancer incidence and survival in the United States. SEER collects data on cancer incidence and population data associated by age, sex, race, year of diagnosis, and geographic area from registries across the country, covering approximately 48% of the national...

This dataset includes structured, in-depth interviews with 24 physicians from diverse clinical backgrounds and geographic areas within the United States. These physicians were identified with purposive sampling strategies. Physicians who reported currently caring for patients through active surveillance were invited to participate. An interview guide was developed based on a literature review and previous...

The Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) analyzes cancer biospecimens by mass spectrometry, characterizing and quantifying their constituent proteins, or proteome. Proteomic analysis for each CPTAC study is carried out independently by Proteomic Characterization Centers (PCCs) using a variety of protein fractionation techniques, instrumentation, and workflows. Mass spectrometry and...

This dataset is a product of an investigation of microbe-metabolite relationships in the gut as a means to understand and potentially reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Microbiota and metabolomics profiling was performed on lyophilized feces from 42 colorectal cancer cases and 89 matched controls. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify statistically independent associations with CRC....

Data from the ongoing NYU Women's Health Study include biospecimens and survey data with variables concerning health conditions, reproductive history, and dietary habits. Between 1985 and 1991, the NYU Women's Health Study enrolled 14,274 women between the ages of 35 and 65 years old at the Guttman Breast Diagnostic Institute in New York City for a study of endogenous hormones, diet, and risk of breast...

This data contains information on patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 and neurofibromatosis type 2 and schwannomatosis. The neurofibromatoses (NF) are rare disorders with variation in clinical manifestations, and the NF Registry was created to assist researchers in studying the disease. Patients are included in the registry if they meet the diagnostic criteria for one of the three NF conditions....

Researchers imaging data along with image-processing algorithms in order to develop a set of candidate image features that can be used to develop a quantitative description of xenografted colorectal chronic tumor hypoxia. These features were used to develop a spatiotemporal logical expression as well as a way to formulate a linear regression function that uses all of the image features to describe...
