Our Research
Discovering the causes of cancer and the means of prevention
DCEG’s multidisciplinary research covers most types of cancer and many exposures in a variety of populations. Our cadre of in-house scientists – epidemiologists, geneticists, biostatisticians, and clinicians – form interdisciplinary teams to study complex questions. DCEG forms collaborative partnerships within the NIH/NCI intramural research program and with scientists at academic and medical institutions around the world, which enables it to carry out its research.
The results of our research have played an important role in improving public health.
