SCIENTIFIC ISSUES IN QUANTITATIVE CANCER RISK A...

In 1974  the Societal Institute of the Mathematical Sciences (SIMS) initiated.a series of
five-day Research Application Conferences (RAC's) at Alta  Utah  for the purpose of probing in
depth societal fields in light of their receptivity to mathematical and statistical analysis.
The first 10 conferences addressed ecosys tems  epidemiology  energy  environmental health 
time series and ecological processes  energy and health  energy conversion and fluid mechanics
environ mental epidemiology: risk assessment  atomic bomb survivor data: utilization and
analysis  and modem statistical methods in chronic disease epidemiology. These Proceedings are
a result of the eleventh conference of Scientific Issues in Quantitative Cancer Risk Assessment
which was held in 1989 at Snowbird  Utah. For five days  45 speakers and observers contributed
their expertise in the relevant biology and statistics. The presentations were timely and the
discussion was both enlightening and at times spirited. This volume hopefully presents a record
that will be useful both now and in the future. Suresh H. Moolgavkar of the Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center (Seattle  WA) and the University of Washington (Seattle) chaired the
Conference. The Conference was supported by the following organizations: The Dow Chemical
Company Haskell Laboratory  E.1. duPont Health and Welfare Canada International Life Sciences
Institute Monsanto Company National Cancer Institute Procter & Gamble Shell Oil Company U. S.
Department of Energy U.S. Environmental Protection Agency U.S. Food and Drug Administration
SIMS is grateful to the above organizations for their support of this Conference. D.L. Thomsen
