======Cancer statistics======

The following statistics provide the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence|prevalence]] of certain (self-reported) [[cancer]] types at baseline and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidence_(epidemiology)|incidence]] (i.e. self-reported newly diagnosed cancers since the previous questionnaire) at three follow-up questionnaires ([[1B]], [[1C]] and [[2A]]).

====Smoking amongst participant with cancer at baseline====
The following statistics show the number and percentage of participants that had cancer and smoked (current or in the past month) at [[1A|baseline]].


| ** Smoking frequency amongst cancer patients**  | **Participants with cancer**  | **Participants without cancer**  |
| **Smokers**                                     | ~1150 (17%)                   | ~30,000 (22%)                    |
| **Non-smokers**                                 | ~5700 (83%)                   | ~110.000 (78%)                   |
