Directory of on-Going Research in Cancer Epidemiology, 1988

While there has always been an interest in the relationship between cancer and factors such as diet, alcohol, smoking, and occupational exposure, recently there has been an increased interest in passive smoking, intervention, screening, and the role of virus in the etiology of the disease. This volume compiles the most current information on research projects in the field of cancer epidemiology. The 1988 edition, which is the thirteenth in the series, contains abstracts of approximately 1240 projects carried out in more than 80 countries. Although the United States and the United Kingdom account for most of the research, contributions from other countries have increased dramatically. The volume reflects the fact that while there has always been an interest in the relationship between cancer and factors such as diet, alcohol, smoking, and occupational exposure, recently there has been an increased interest in passive smoking, intervention, screening, and the role of virus in the etiology of the disease. Several indexes provide easy access to the information in the directory, and the inclusion of the address, telephone, and telex numbers of the principal investigator facilitates contacts between research workers. The volume also contains lists of biological materials banks and population-based cancer registries.Coleman, Michel P. is the author of 'Directory of on-Going Research in Cancer Epidemiology, 1988', published 1988 under ISBN 9789283211938 and ISBN 9283211936.
