Molecular epidemiology and cancer: promising areas for future research in the post-genomic era.

Abstract excerpt

This manuscript addresses how epidemiology might benefit from the sequencing of the human genome in terms of identifying the aetiology of cancer. Given that most human cancer is the result of both genetic and environmental risk factors, accurate assessment of both is required to develop an understanding of molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Sequencing the human genome is a major scientific advance, which...
