Cancers in the Urban Environment

Thomas M. Mack is an internationally renowned researcher specialized in the lifestyle factors related to the development of cancer. He is founder of International Twin Registry, a continent-wide series of comparisons between patients with chronic diseases and their unaffected twins; and California Twin Program, an analogous program of studies among twins who differ in lifestyle or personal exposures and experiences.
