Then, chapters of uniform structure on over 20 types of cancer provide clinical and pathologic outlines, descriptive epidemiology, and an account of risk factors and their etiologic importance.

"This is an excellent book on cancer epidemiology...It provides a nice background section and reiterates the concepts important to study design. The chapters by cancer site are concise and well written to provide health professionals with the information they need for work in their own areas in cancer prevention. This second edition is a nice update, in particular on the advances in genetic and molecular epidemiology over the past five years."--Doody's
