Cancer Statistics, (MEDICAL SCIENCES SERIES) - Hardcover

This unique book is an accessible overview of statistical data on cancer, which, despite their importance and great interest, have hitherto been dispersed between many diverse sources.

Of interest to oncologists, medical statisticians, epidemiologists, cancer researchers, community medicine specialists, health care administrators, and computer software specialists. Also general practitioners, junior medical officers, radiographers, nurses, hospital physicists and technologists involved in cancer care. Accessible in parts to a wide readership.
