Background

Pancreatic cancer has extremely poor survival. The PanLink dataset is a national linked dataset that aims to understand more about causes, factors influencing survival, and early diagnosis.

Approach

This project uses a lot of complex data management and statistics, and requires students with experience and aptitude using statistical software packages such as SAS and R.
