title: [Epidemiological study using molecular biologic markers].
abstract: It seems to be important for the epidemiological study on cancer etiology to conduct molecular biological approach. IARC/WHO held "International Course on Molecular Biology for Epidemiologist" in order to promote the molecular epidemiology. I described here the content of the course and our study on lung cancer etiology using c-Ha-ras VTR marker of leukocyte DNA in peripheral blood, and discussed the possibility of molecular epidemiology.
