The term medical surveillance is vague, but commonly utilized. There is no generally accepted definition of medical surveillance. Medical surveillance involves performing an observational study of either an individual or a population and includes collection, collation, analysis, and dissemination of data. The data acquired varies, and may be on exposures, disease, injury, death, and/or disability. There are numerous examples of medical surveillance with vastly different models. For example, the United States has formed the Army Medical Surveillance Activity (AMSA). Its main functions are to analyze, interpret, and disseminate information regarding the status, trends, and determinants of the health and fitness of America s Army and to identify and evaluate obstacles to medical readiness. AMSA is the central epidemiological resource for the Army. [Pg.1610]

Cancer is a group of diseases that result from abnormal and prolific cellular division. Based on current U.S. National Cancer Institute s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) of cancer prevalence, it is estimated that more than 10 million people were living with cancer in the United States in 2005 (NCI 2008). The American Cancer Society predicts that 1 in 2 males and 1 in 3 females will develop some type of cancer in their lifetime, and that 1 in 4 males and 1 in 5 females is at risk of dying from this disease (NCI 2007a,b). Cancer is undoubtedly a substantial threat to public health. [Pg.3]
