Epidemiology of Cancer Study Section [EPIC]

The Epidemiology of Cancer [EPIC] Study Section reviews applications on epidemiologic studies in the areas of cancer. Specific areas covered by EPIC:

General characteristics of the distribution of cancer (including cancer of the breast, prostate, digestive system, reproductive system, skin, lungs, and childhood cancers) in human populations in relation to time, place, and personal characteristics.
Elucidation of the determinants of cancer and biomarkers of cancer by assembling groups of individuals to determine systematically whether the risk of disease/condition is different for individuals who are exposed or not exposed to specific factors (or combinations of factors) of interest. These may be either risk or protective factors and include genetic, epigenetic, molecular, behavioral, and environmental factors.
Development and improvement of research designs and methodologies addressing epidemiologic questions in cancer.
