Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention
Abstract
In the past several decades, epidemiology has emerged as an integral part of cancer research. It has become important not only as related to risk factors, but in the investigation of molecular theories, in issues of environmental regulation, and in providing rational approaches to cancer prevention and control. This text, edited by Drs Schottenfeld and Fraumeni, containing contributions by many notable experts, is a highly successful attempt to put much of this wealth of information together in a useable format. The text is divided into five sections. The first, "Basic Concepts," contains six chapters on epidemiologic methods and the biology of cancer. While impossible in a single chapter to present full discussions, a suitable framework of definitions and concepts is provided. Section 2, "The Magnitude of Cancer," has six chapters that include not only national and international cancer data but information on survival and the economic impact of cancer. The

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
