Cancer epidemiology: study designs and data analysis

Abstract: Among the scientific interests of cancer epidemiology is the identification of both environmental and genetic factors associated with cancer development. Observational designs requiring sophisticated methodology are applied to control for potential confounding factors. The enormous biotechnological potential developed in the last two decades has allowed the integration of a plethora of new biomarkers in epidemiological studies to better define the exposure and "neoclassic" outcomes, as well as incorporating ge… Show more

“…However, much remains unknown about how pathophysiology is affected by social factors and their correlates (e.g., lifestyle changes, urbanization, migration and acculturation), especially for hypertension. Consequently, modern frameworks call for multilevel systems approaches that pay attention to both societal-and molecular-level contributors to health equity (i.e., "the absence of unfair and avoidable or remediable differences in health among social groups" [34]) [35,36].…”

“…El cáncer es una enfermedad multifactorial que ocurre debido a la interacción aún poco comprendida entre factores ambientales y genéticos (11). En el 2005, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) (12) estimó que 43% de las muertes por cáncer se debieron a tres factores causales: tabaco, dieta e infecciones crónicas.…”
