An epidemiology lab that uses data such as cancer registries to investigate the causes of cancer and the effects of cancer control measures.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the frequency and causes of cancer from population data.
The Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention division conducts epidemiological research on cancer.
Epidemiology is a field that studies, in groups rather than individuals, the frequency and distribution of disease and the factors that influence its onset and prognosis.
The lab conducts research using Miyagi Prefecture cancer registry data, questionnaire surveys of patients admitted to Miyagi Cancer Center, and data from joint research with other institutions.
The Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention at the Miyagi Cancer Center Research Institute, headed by Prof. Kanamura, handles the operations of the Miyagi Cancer Registry Office and the hospital-based cancer registry office.
