The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society was published in 2007 and received a 2008 Editors' Choice Award from Booklist. It served as a general, non-technical resource focusing on cancer from the perspective of the social and behavioral sciences, exploring social and economic impacts, the "business" of cancer, advertising of drugs and treatment centers, how behavior change could offer great potential for cancer prevention, environmental risks, food additives and regulation, the relation between race and ethnicity and cancer risk, socioeconomic status, controversies--both scientific and political--in cancer treatment and research, country-by-country entries on cancer around the world, and more. Given various developments in the field including new drug treatments, political controversies over use of the vaccines Gardasil and Cervarix with young girls to prevent cervical cancer, and unexpected upticks in the prevalence of adult smoking within the U.S. following decades of decline, the SAGE Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society, Second Edition serves as an updated and more current encyclopedia that addresses concerns pertaining to this topic.

Key Features:

- Approximately half of the 700 first-edition articles revised and updated

- 30+ new entries covering new developments since 2006

- Signed entries with cross-references

- Further Readings accompanied by pedagogical elements

- New Reader's Guide

- Updated Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, and through new Index

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society, Second Edition serves as a reliable and precise source for students and researchers with an interest in social and behavioral sciences and seeks to better understand the continuously evolving subject matter of cancer and society.

In addition to serving as the deputy director of the Institute for Public Health at Washington University in St. Louis, Graham A. Colditz is the Neiss-Gain Professor in the School of Medicine, chief of the Division of Public Health Sciences in the Department of Surgery, program director of the Master of Population Health Sciences degree program, and the associate director of prevention and control at the Siteman Cancer Center. He is the principal investigator for TREC@WUSTL, an NCI-funded transdisciplinary research centre studying the associations between obesity and cancer causes, prevention and survival.
