Aimed at epidemiologists, specialists in lab technology, biochemists and molecular biologists, this volume examines applications for biological markers, the criteria for selecting and evaluating markers, methodological issues in molecular epidemiology and many other topics.
This book provides an overview of the different types of biological markers, the epidemiologic issues that markers can address, and constraints associated with marker use. A discussion of marker properties presents issues to consider when selecting markers for a study and some approaches for evaluating marker properties are described. The majority of the book gives detailed reviews of several markers of particular importance to cancer epidemiology. Examples include urine mutagenesis, adducts, cytogenetic markers, oncogenes, and markers of susceptibility. Although the marker-specific chapters emphasize cancer, the overview sections discuss markers in general with illustrations from a variety of epidemiologic research areas. No other book on biological markers has been written for an epidemiologist audience. The book synthesizes diffuse information found primarily in the toxicology literature. It also provides a comprehensive introduction to markers for researchers without prior knowledge of markers, and particularly for epidemiologists. The reader need only have a basic knowledge of biology and chemistry.
