Human cancer: epidemiology and environmental causes

Abstract

"The volume includes brief details of the epidemiological techniques involved, though without attempting a detailed exploration of sophisticated biomathematical background. A brief introduction on the application of laboratory techniques is dealt with in Chapter 3. The bulk of the volume then reviews systematically the epidemiology and causes of specific cancers. The bibliography concentrates on key references and reviews."--Back cover.
