Résumé

L’évaluation des liens entre cancer et facteurs environnementaux est délicate, et surtout très controversée. L’épidémiologie a un rôle fondamental à jouer non seulement pour apporter des connaissances scientifiques nouvelles, mais également pour poser des questions susceptibles d’influencer des politiques de prévention. À l’heure actuelle, le défi majeur est d’intervenir à l’échelle de la planète pour ralentir la vertigineuse progression du cancer dans le monde.

Epidemiology has a fundamental role to play, not only to bring in new scientific knowledge, but also to ask questions susceptible to influence prevention politics. In our times, the major challenge is to act at the world scale in order to slow down the vertiginous progression of cancer in the world.
