Epidemiology Proceedings of the 12th International Cancer Congress, Buenos Aires, 1978

Advances in Medical Oncology, Research and Education, Volume III: Epidemiology presents the proceedings of the 12th International Cancer Congress, focusing on the critical role of epidemiology in understanding and addressing cancer. This volume brings together leading international contributions that explore the patterns, causes, and risk factors associated with various cancers across populations.

The book opens with a broad overview of cancer epidemiology, providing foundational data and emerging trends. Subsequent sections explore occupational cancers, seroepidemiological studies, and the complex interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental exposures in cancer development. Special attention is given to identifying at-risk populations and informing preventative strategies through population-level research.

Serving as both a reference and a springboard for further study, this volume is a valuable resource for oncology students, researchers, epidemiologists, and healthcare professionals seeking to better understand cancer through an epidemiological lens.
