Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am thrilled to support this project on the Epidemiology of Cancer, a fascinating topic.
Cancer epidemiology studies the impact of cancer on the population at the local and global scale.
The frequency expressed as incidence and prevalence of tumors intrinsically describe the biology of the disease. The outcomes of the disease are instead described in terms of mortality (deaths per year) and survival (probability of surviving over the time from diagnosis).
As a public health physician, I sincerely believe Epidemiological results are essential for the evaluation of the effectiveness of cancer prevention policies, the identification of risk factors, and the progress achieved in early diagnosis and cancer treatment.
These beliefs drive my support for the submission of research data on population-based cancer etiology, prevention, surveillance, and survivorship research.
Besides welcoming manuscripts addressing colleagues and experts on the topic as guest editors, I encourage the submission of manuscripts with a transdisciplinary approach.
Dr. Francesco Addabbo
Guest Editor
