From the reviews: "The first volume is dedicated to the methods, technologies and study design in analytical cancer epidemiology. ... the more thorough attention is provided to case-control and cohort studies, to regression models. ... In conclusion it is necessary ... for clinicians, epidemiologists and laboratory workers, studying molecular biology in acquisition of knowledges which could broaden their scientific outlook and enlarge the orientation of their study in future years."
