CURRENT CONCEPTS IN CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY 2002
The burden of cancer is growing worldwide as life expectancy rises and
western lifestyles such as cigarette smoking spread in developing
countries. This course is designed primarily for clinicians,
researchers, public health specialists and other health care workers who
work or
intend to work in cancer epidemiology. It aims to provide participants
with a methodological foundation in cancer epidemiology as well as
state-of-the-art review of several current research issues in the
causes, prevention and survival of common cancers.
Topics to be covered will include:
1. Overview of the burden of cancer
2. Study designs: from observational studies to randomised trials
3. Introduction to statistical methods for cancer epidemiology
4. Cancer prevention and control strategies
5. Evaluation of cancer screening programmes
6. Cancer care: evaluating survival at a population level
7. The role of infectious agents in cancer aetiology
8. Application of biomarkers in cancer epidemiology
9. Infection and cancer
The one-day workshop on infection and cancer. Viral infections have
been known to be capable of causing cancer for 100 years. Infections
are
believed to play a role in more than one in six cancers diagnosed
worldwide each year. This workshop will review current knowledge on the
role of infections in causing cancer, and the measures most likely to be
effective in controlling such cancers. The Workshop will cover HIV and
Kaposi carcoma, HPV and cervical cancer, HBV and liver cancer, H.
Pylori and stomach cancer and other known or suspected links between
infection and malignancy. Well known experts in infection and cancer
will lead the discussions.
