Publisher's Synopsis
The "Directory of On-Going Research in Cancer Epidemiology" is an annual compendium of current research in cancer epidemiology. The 1991 edition contains abstracts of 1147 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, enabling rapid searches for current studies fitting almost any description. In addition, with the help of an IBM-compatible diskette, it is possible to search the indices simultaneously, using specially-developed software, in order to speed up searching and make searches more efficient. This directory also includes comprehensive lists of 253 population-based cancer registries and over 200 biological material banks, all available for collaboration in epidemiological research. Also included are the addresses (plus telephone and telex) of nearly 1000 principal investigators to improve contact between research workers.
