  8. Epidemiology of cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_cancer

    The epidemiology of cancer is the study of the factors affecting cancer, as a way to infer possible trends and causes. The study of cancer epidemiology uses epidemiological methods to find the cause of cancer and to identify and develop improved treatments. This area of study must contend with problems of lead time bias and length time bias ...
