Physical Activity and Risk of Liver Cancer: A Competing Risk Analysis

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Physical activity is associated with lower risk of liver cancer, but obtaining an unbiased estimate of the causal effect is challenging due to the competing risk of death due to any other cause. We performed a causal competing risk analysis to estimate the total effect of physical activity on risk of liver cancer in the presence of competing ...
