BU SBRP researchers Verónica Vieira (Project 2), Tom Webster (Project 2), Ann Aschengrau (Project 1) and BU SPH researcher Janice Weinberg have recently published an article in Environmental Health. The article, “Spatial analysis of bladder, kidney, and pancreatic cancer on upper Cape Cod: an application of generalized additive models to case-control data,” features innovative methods developed by Project 2 to investigate disease clusters. Assuming 15 year latency, the authors found a significant spatial clustering of bladder cancer near Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) groundwater plumes, suggesting that further investigation is needed.
