Prostate Cancer
We are using the prostate cancer definition used by the eMERGE program, with a slight modification to the control definition (prostate_cancer_status_emerge_mod_1). You can review the eMERGE documentation for reference, but please follow this document for implementation.
Modifications:
Combine “Control A” and “Control B” groups from the provided schematic figure into a single control group for analysis
Controls should be filtered based on age >= the minimum age of identified cases to the age distributions of cases and controls are comparable within each study
