This article examines the current and possible future world cancer burden, identifies the sites of cancer for which a better understanding of etiology is urgently needed, discusses the clamant need for greater collaboration between epidemiologists, clinicians, and basic scientists and sets these topics in the context of prevention, ending with a discussion on some of the problems currently facing epidemiology as a discipline

Epidemiology, basic science, and the prevention of cancer: implications for the future.

Around 1618 Thomas Adams wrote "He is a better physician that keepes diseases off us than he that cures them being on us; prevention is so much better than healing because it saves the labour of being sick". Where do stand some 370 years later? This review examines the current and possible future world cancer burden identifies the sites of cancer for which a better understanding of etiology is urgently needed (for without knowledge of cause rational prevention is difficult) and sets these topics in the context of cancer prevention today and tomorrow.

Prospects for cancer control in the 1990s.

The aim of the assessment of human exposure to pesticides is the definition of dose-effect relationships in man after both single and repeated exposures and therefore the prevention of the adverse effects due to these chemicals.

Assessment of Human Exposure to Pesticides

Zum Nachweis eines Zusammenhanges zwischen Umweltfaktoren, wie z. B. der Luftverschmutzung und der Entstehung chronischer Erkrankungen, wie z. B. des Lungenkrebses, wird in der Epidemiologie haufig die Methodik der Fall-Kontroll-Studie angewendet. Sind diese Umweltrisiken einerseits klein und andererseits mit bekannten und gesicherten Risikofaktoren (wie z. B. dem Rauchen) assoziiert, so ergeben sich eine Reihe methodischer und inhaltlicher Probleme.
