Book Description
The objective of this postdoctoral training research is an integration of GIS and a spatio-temporal perspective into breast cancer research of the relationship between environmental exposures and breast cancer risk. We have completed collection of historic traffic information, and updating of the lifetime residential histories for our dataset for the breast cancer cases and controls. I have also been involved in analysis and writing of a classic epidemiologic research paper and have participated in several workshops as a part of epidemiology training. The development of a theoretical framework measuring similarity and difference of individual's lifetime residential history was completed, and a GIS-based traffic model was established. These data and epidemiologic evidence were used for further analyses, based on the models of geospatial lifeline for the estimation of lifetime residential exposures to PAHs and breast cancer risk. Findings from these studies indicate that environmental exposures in early life may be associated with breast cancer risk. Since we found evidence of association between PAHs exposures in relation to breast cancer risk, especially PAH exposures during sensitive time periods in early life, we strongly believe that models of geospatial lifeline can be effectively used for the estimation of lifetime residential exposures to PAHs and breast cancer risk.

Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations Near Nuclear Facilities
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309255716
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
In the late 1980s, the National Cancer Institute initiated an investigation of cancer risks in populations near 52 commercial nuclear power plants and 10 Department of Energy nuclear facilities (including research and nuclear weapons production facilities and one reprocessing plant) in the United States. The results of the NCI investigation were used a primary resource for communicating with the public about the cancer risks near the nuclear facilities. However, this study is now over 20 years old. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the National Academy of Sciences provide an updated assessment of cancer risks in populations near USNRC-licensed nuclear facilities that utilize or process uranium for the production of electricity. Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 1 focuses on identifying scientifically sound approaches for carrying out an assessment of cancer risks associated with living near a nuclear facility, judgments about the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical power, ability to assess potential confounding factors, possible biases, and required effort. The results from this Phase 1 study will be used to inform the design of cancer risk assessment, which will be carried out in Phase 2. This report is beneficial for the general public, communities near nuclear facilities, stakeholders, healthcare providers, policy makers, state and local officials, community leaders, and the media.
