Researcher B  conducts a cross-sectional study to explore the consumption of fruits  and vegetables and the risk of endometrial cancer. The results of the  study indicate a higher risk of cancer with vegetable consumption.

Conduct  research by reading the articles and journals on endometrial cancer.  Based on your research and understanding, answer the following  questions:

From the  research information you have at hand, what do the above mentioned two  case studies tell you about the risk of endometrial cancer? Is there any common ground covered between the two studies? If so, list and explain them. If not, provide reasons why. What is your opinion on each study in terms of design and demographics? Which method do you think has more merit? Why? What additional information would be needed to arrive at a conclusion?
