Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text gives a systematic account of what is currently known about the epidemiology and primary prevention for most forms of human cancer. Part 1 provides an introduction to basic concepts in epidemiology, a description of the global burden of cancer, definitions and characterisations of the various measures used, and approaches used to reveal genetic determinants of cancer risk and integrate biologic markers in the epidemiologic research process. Part 2 contains
chapters of uniform structure on over 20 types of cancer, providing clinical and pathological outlines, descriptive epidemiology, and a comprehensive account of risk factors and their etiological importance. Specific sections address somatic and germ cell mutations that play a role in the occurrence
of particular forms of cancer.
