New and timely chapters on environmental and social-epidemiologic factors include: * The role of social class disparities* The role of obesity and physical inactivity* The potential effects of electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation* The principles of cancer chemopreventionFor both seasoned professionals and newer generations of students and researchers, this fourth edition of CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PREVENTION remains the authority in the field - a work of distinction that every lab, library, student, professional, or researcher should have close at hand.
