Population studies and epidemiology facilitate the discovery of genetic and environmental determinants of cancer and the development of new approaches to cancer control and prevention, therefore they play a central role in the creation of health policies. Cancer Epidemiology compiles areas of research which cover etiological factors or determinants that contribute to the development of cancer and describe the the latest technologies in cancer epidemiology. Provides a detailed analysis of the study of genes and environments and their interaction and how the use of population sciences facilitates translation and application of new discoveries Delves into inherited genetic susceptibility as wells as epigenetics and risk of cancer Presents the use of genomics as the latesttool in translational epidemiology INDICE: From the contents Cancer Occurrence.- Cancer Registry Databases: An Overview of Techniques of Statistical Analysis and Impact on Cancer Epidemiology.- Breast Cancer in Asia.- Cancer Epidemiology in United States: racial, Social, and Economic Factors.- Epidemiology of Multiple Primary Cancers.- Cancer Screenings, Diagnostic Technology Evolution, and Cancer Control.- Thriving for clues in variations seen in mortality and incidence of cancer: geographic patterns, temporal trends, and human population diversities in cancer incidenceand mortality.- Evaluation of Environmental and Personal Susceptibility Characteristics that Modify Genetic Risks.- Introduction to the use of regression models in epidemiology.
