Human Cancer(1st Edition) Epidemiology and Environmental Causes (Cambridge Monographs on Cancer Research) by John Higginson, CalumS. Muir, Nubia Muñoz Hardcover, 604 Pages, Published 1992 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-41288-9, ISBN: 0-521-41288-9
"This important new reference book on human cancer provides a global picture of the epidemiology of cancer and its environmental causes. By summarising on a cancer-by-cancer basis geographical, environmental and ethical factors, the volume collates a wealth of information which, taken together, provides valuable insights into the causes of cancer and scope for its elimination and control. The contents include: (1) general epidemiological ..."

"The preceding decade has seen the production of many cancer at lases. As with other techniques of descriptive epidemiology, these atlases have proved valuable in identifying areas for further re sear~h employing the methods of analytical epidemiology. How ever, the various cancer atlases produceq to date have failed to pro vide a common format of presentation, which has limited their comparability and frustrated in a large measure a ..."
"The maps in this atlas present age-standardized incidence rates by sex for the approximately 220 countries of the former German Democratic Republic. The cancer sites mapped are those for which the numbers are large enough for the geographical variations to be meaningful. In addition to the color maps, detailed tables present the data used in compiling the maps, and diagrams illustrate age-specific incidence rates over a 20-year period. ..."

"Recent experimental and clinical progress in the evaluation of cytokines in treatment concepts for cancer patients is the central theme of this book in the ESO Monographs series. The discussion revolves on the experimental basis as well as current clinical experience with the use of human recombinant cytokines. It gives the state of the art and, as such, puts into perspective potential areas of growth and future research."
"This unique collection of information provides compilations of cancer morbidity data from 105 registries covering 137 population groups in 36 countries. In addition to age-specific incidence rates, age-standardized, truncated and cumulative incidence rates are given by sub-sites. The book offers no interpretation of the data, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions from the facts."

"Peter Boyle, Calum S. Muir, Ekkehard Grundmann. A clearer idea of the burden
of cancer in a population is obtained from data on incidence, i.e. the rate at which
newly diagnosed cases of cancer occur in the population at a particular time.
Incidence, unlike mortality, is not influenced by variations in survival from cancer.
Britain is fortunate in that it has regional cancer registries which record each new
case of cancer as it is ..."
"In 1966, following the Ninth International Cancer Congress in Tokyo, the Commission on Epidemiology and Prevention of the International Union against Cancer formed a new Committee on Cancer Incidence. This Committee met in Lausanne in May 1968 and decided that the monograph on Cancer Incidence in Five Continents, which had been published by the UICC tw~ years previously, had been so useful that a second volum ..."
