DCEG: Uncovering the causes of cancer, training future researchers
Researchers in the NCI Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) investigate the causes of cancer at the population level. Together with their trainees, our experts pair genetic and genomic studies of common and rare malignancies with classical epidemiological approaches. We utilize cutting-edge technology for large-scale processing of biological samples that yield data rich with clues to etiologic patterns. Families with rare inherited cancer syndromes, such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, participate in DCEG clinical studies. Their contributions to research allow us to advance our understanding of genetic and modifiable factors in disease risk, and to generate cancer screening or prevention techniques for these unique populations. Watch our scientists discussing aspects of DCEG research in interviews done in conjunction with the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG)
