Use of biomarkers in epidemiology. The example of metabolic susceptibility to cancer.

Toxicology letters - 1 May 1995

Vineis P

Abstract excerpt

This paper examines the methodological problems faced in epidemiological studies which use a particular class of biomarkers, those of genetic susceptibility to cancer. Their use in epidemiology is increasing, they raise special methodological questions and entail particular ethical consequences. A list of questions concerning the validity of the studies is discussed. (1) Is the test used to measure the genotype...
