If it had stated a 'Rare Cancer' I would have thought case control. But it said common cancer.... Any thoughts on this?

kbizzitt I believe what they are getting at with the "common cancer" is that it is easily definable as a case. This way you can easily determine who is a case and who would be a control. Then you go back and see if that case had exposure or not. +1
