Directory of On-going Research in Cancer Epidemiology 1994 (Paperback)

This directory is an annual compendium of current research in epidemiology. The 1994 edition (17th in the series) contains abstracts of the 1246 projects being carried out in over 80 countries, and reflects the huge range of epidemiological research into the distribution, causes, and prevention of cancer around the world. Each project is indexed in up to eight separate indexes, enabling rapid searches for current studies fitting almost any description. The eight indexes are: name of investigator(s); keywords; cancer site(s); study type (cohort, case-control, etc.); country; chemical exposure; occupational exposure; and cancer registry. The Directory also includes comprehensive lists of 261 population-based cancer registries and over 300 biological material banks, all available for collaboration in epidemiological research. The addresses, telephone and telex numbers of nearly 1000 principal investigators is provided to improve contact between research workers.
