Epidemiology has made significant contribution to better understanding cancer etiology and improving public health. Recently, with increasingly available genetic and molecular data, methodology in cancer epidemiology has been greatly progressing through incorporation of those data. This chapter focuses on some topics in Genome-Wide Association Studies and also provides some discussion of investigating etiologic heterogeneity among molecular subtypes of cancer.
