Aspects of Cancer Epidemiology
Adult Health Nursing-II notes for B.Sc.nursing 5th Semester students.

Cancer epidemiology:-
Cancer epidemiology is the study of cancer's distribution, causes, and control in populations to identify risk factors, improve diagnosis and treatment, and implement prevention strategies. 
It examines the patterns of cancer occurrence (incidence, prevalence, mortality), identifies environmental and genetic factors (like tobacco or air pollution), and assesses health disparities. 
In oncology, this epidemiological understanding informs public health policies, guides interventions, and supports the development of cancer prevention and treatment guidelines.
