Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology summarizes the current body of knowledge--what cancer is, how it is defined, how it develops in biological and genetic terms, what groups are at highest risk, and what causes it. Using a unique framework, Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology helps readers develop an in-depth understanding of major risk factors and how they affect specific cancers, as well as how co-factors contribute to risk for particular cancers.
