Textbook of Cancer Epidemiology

Reviews / Votes

"Multiauthored books often look like an incongruous pastiche and taste like an inadroitly cooked panache de legumes. Not this one: the editors visibly put a lot of effort to achieve a uniform structure and style. Such coherence is particularly welcome in a textbook. Perhaps the strongest common success of all chapters is that they enable the reader to understand the causes of each cancer - and, hence, they better equip him
or her to undertake or to assess primary prevention efforts. This true textbook will hence be useful, pleasant and rewarding to students of epidemiology and public health, medicine, and other health and life sciences. It will similarly
work for researchers and health practitioners, clinicians and public health professionals."--J Epidemiol Community Health, 2003
"Textbook of Cancer Epidemiology provides a concise, authoritative review of the methods of investigation available in cancer epidemiology."--International Journal of Epidemiology
"...it is up to date, covers the major factors associated with increased or decreased cancer risk, and is written in a clear and readable style. The up-to-date information on genetic and molecular epidemiology is particularly noteworthy. All in all, the book provides a concise and systematic account of cancer epidemiology today, with insightful coverage of key issues for the future."--The New Englang Journal of Medicine
