Proposed research framework to interrogate the role of exposures over the life course in cancer development. Exposures at different ages may influence adulthood cancer risk, both directly and indirectly via relation to exposures in later life. Life course epidemiologic studies are critically needed to identify susceptible windows during which exposures are most influential on cancer risk. Example exposures that may influence cancer risk are listed for each period.
