This text provides a concise, systematic account of what is currently known about the epidemiology and primary prevention for most forms of human cancer. Early chapters summarize the principles and methods of epidemiology, the biology of cancer, cancer genetics, the emerging potential biomarkers, and the burden of cancer around the world. Then chapters of uniform structure on over 20 types of cancer provide clinical and pathological outlines, descriptive epidemiology, and a comprehensive account of risk factors and their etiological importance. Specific sections address somatic and germ cell mutations that play a role in the occurrence of particular forms of cancer.

"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
