Molecular epidemiology aims to merge laboratory methods with analytical epidemiological methods. It bridges from basic research in molecular biology to studies of human cancer causation by combining laboratory measurement of internal dose, biologically effective dose, biological effects and the influence of individual susceptibility with epidemiologic methodologies. The utility of biomarkers for human biomonitoring is suggested by the paradigm of environmentally induced cancer. The development of biomarkers has given rise to the field of molecular epidemiology, which uses them rather than disease to assess the risk of environmental exposure.
