Cancer precursors: epidemiology, detection, and prevention

Cancer Precursors is a groundbreaking, multidisciplinary text containing a comprehensive overview of methodological issues associated with the study of pre-cancerous conditions, as well as reviews of the contributions of descriptive,analytical, and molecular epidemiological research to knowledge about cancer precursors at specific anatomical locations. The research focuses on the earlynatural history of cancers, by helping to define the etiology of precursor lesions, improving the means of detecting them either directly or via testing ofsurrogate biomarkers, and by elucidating the role of remote causes leading tothe early onset of such lesions. INDICE: I. Biological Basis of Carcinogenesis; II. Issues Related to Measurement and Interpretation of Cancer Precursors; III. Site-Specific Precancerous Conditions; IV. Control of Cancer Precursors; V. Conclusion
