The Epidemiology of Genetic Error,
By Ron Braithwaite "Hummingbird God" (El Indio, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology (Hardcover)
I'm finding Nasca and Pastide's tome on the Epidemiology of Cancer of great help to me in my own preparation of a monograph on the 'Origins of Cancer.' The authors meticulously follow the epidemiology of a killer with special emphasis on heredity; tobacco; alcohol; radiation; infectious; exogenous; dietary; hormonal and multifactorial causes.
I'm grateful that the authors don't fall into the all-too-familiar trap of trying to identify underlying mutagens as the cause of most human cancers. Mutagenic factors are significant in some cases but I am of the opinion that physical, chronic irritative/inflammatory and/or 'benign' cellular proliferations are at the root of most cancers.

Cancer is something that many people fear, but what is truly known about it?,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology (Hardcover)
Cancer is something that many people fear, but what is truly known about it? "Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology" is a scholarly text examining this blight of mankind, and medical science's advancing knowledge of it. Now in an updated second edition, "Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology" includes new chapters on screening, drugs, pediatric cancers, prevention strategies, and up to date information just as the book went to press. Enhanced with glossaries and indexes, "Fundamentals of Cancer Epidemiology" is highly recommended for college medical science and health collections.
