Description and Table of Contents
Description
Describes the science and practice of the rapidly emerging discipline of cancer prevention and control, placing specific emphasis on the magnitude of the cancer problem, methods and study design issues, and the prevention of specific tumours. Appendices with important resource information such as screening and dietary guidelines, state cancer control maps, selected Office of Cancer Communications materials, and more, are provided. This work is intended for oncologists, immunologists, haematologists, pathologists, internists, nutritionists, biostatisticians, public health officials, cancer researchers and educators; and graduate and medical school students in these disciplines.
