| Research Topic | A study of the relationship between musculoskeletal pain and cancer (incidence and survival) |
| Reference number: | RPCH 2011-04 |
| Abstract | The research will use data collected in 11687 subjects who returned a baseline questionnaire and gave permission for their medical records to be reviewed, as part of the North Staffordshire Osteoarthritis Project (NorStOP).
