Linking lifestyle and molecular biology to inform "Precision Public Health" for major cancers

该研究项目旨在增加我们对癌症风险的了解。我们将使用我们的大量人口和基于家庭的数据集进行创新分析，提高我们对遗传、表观遗传和生活方式因素在乳腺癌、结直肠癌和前列腺癌风险中所起作用的理解。这些信息应该使我们能够更好地预测一个人的癌症风险，使筛查等公共卫生干预措施能够更有效、更经济地提供给风险最高的人。

The Program of research seeks to increase our understanding of cancer risk. We will use our large collections of population and family-based datasets to conduct innovative analyses, improving our understanding of the roles that genetic, epigenetic and lifestyle factors play in our risk of breast, colorectal and prostate cancer. This information should allow us to better predict a person’s cancer risk, enabling public health interventions, such as screening, to be delivered more effectively and economically to those most at risk.
