Cancer
Lifelines participants were asked the following questions about their experiences with cancer (section: Diseases & symptoms).
Note that self-reported data on cancer (free text) is not freely available due to the risk of identifying participants. The answers are coded, and the codes will become available soon.
Also note that it is possible to link Lifelines data to PALGA and IKNL cancer registries.
Some statistics on the self-reported prevalence and incidence of cancer in the Lifelines cohort can be found here.
