Advances in Medical Oncology, Research and Education, Volume III: Epidemiology covers the proceedings of the 12th International Cancer Congress. The title presents papers that deal with the epidemiological aspect of oncology. The first part of the text covers cancer epidemiology, and then proceeds to tackling occupational cancer. Next the selection talks about seroepidemiology and human cancer. The text also details the interaction between genetic and environmental factors in human cancer. The book will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners of oncology.
