Franco Merletti - Epidemiology

Author Information

Franco Merletti is affiliated with the Cancer Epidemiology Unit, Department of Medical Sciences, University of Turin, and CPO-Piemonte, Turin, Italy. His research primarily focuses on cancer epidemiology, with significant contributions to understanding the survival rates, risk factors, and quality of life of cancer patients.

Research Contributions

Franco Merletti has authored numerous influential papers in the field of cancer epidemiology. His research contributions include extensive studies on population-based survival rates for various cancer types, occupational exposure risks, and the impact of environmental factors on cancer development. Notably, his work has provided valuable insights into the survival trends of children, adolescents, and young adults diagnosed with leukemia and the risk factors associated with lung and brain cancers. Merletti's research extends to examining the quality of life among cancer survivors and exploring the effects of environmental exposures like trihalomethanes in drinking water and wireless phone use on cancer risk.
