Is a Comprehensive Approach Necessary for Preventing Cancers Caused by Infectious Agents?
In June 2012, Lancet Oncology published a review and analysis of the 2008 global burden of cancers attributable to infections, concluding that one in six cancers worldwide may be caused by preventable infections. The study estimated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of infectious agents for 27 cancers in 184 countries. Of the 12.7 million new …

Up for a Challenge? Can Burning Questions in Genetic Epidemiology Be Addressed Through a Competition?
How can the National Cancer Institute incentivize innovation in genetic epidemiologic research with the prize authority recently given to all federal agencies by Congress? Under authority of the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Science (America COMPETES) Act, federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health are encouraged to …
