BREAST CANCER, FOCUS ON SELECTED EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS

In this final report I described the main phases on my PhD period, collecting my main research work of the last three years. I have had the possibility to explore different epidemiological themes and to collaborate with leading researchers in this field. I mainly focused on breast cancer, through Piedmont Registry data, but I had also the possibility to address epidemiological aspects of other cancers. The added value was the chance to work in an international context in Lyon at the International Agency for Research on Cancer. My career in cancer epidemiology is only at the beginning. I will be able to continue my research in the next three years, thanks to a postgraduate scholarship in health statistics.
