New discoveries in how cells change to become seeds of cancer have profound implications for the health of workers and others exposed to environmental carcinogens. The development of these technologies is traced here for the first time in the context of Dr. Irving J. Selikoffs agenda for prevention and treatment in occupational and environmental medicine. Original papers and commentary by Dr. Selikoff, and an international spectrum of leading experts, explore the changing nature of occupational and environmental oncology. Specific agents and methods, including the possible role of viruses and genetic testing, are shown to provide not only scientific opportunities, but also ethical challenges.

Science on the Witness Stand will be a welcome addition to the library of any medical or legal professional whose work involves presenting medical evidence in a legal context.

The book offers a complete look at the factors to be considered in a variety of legal proceedings, from claims adjudication to liability and other medical/legal proceedings. It begins by introducing an innovative approach the authors call evidence-based medical dispute resolution, then moves on to discuss the elements and logic to be presented in a medical opinion, the principles and procedures of civil litigation, and the jurist's view of scientific evidence. Issues of causality and admissibility of evidence and testimony are presented, along with individualized medical evaluation and personal risk, impairment, and evidentiary needs in environmental law and occupational health law.

Science on the Witness Stand is a must-have resource for lawyers and expert witnesses who need to present scientific knowledge and apply it in the courtroom or in claims adjudication. Its evidence-based medical dispute resolution approach gives legal and health care professionals a useful new way to evaluate evidence from the biomedical and population health sciences as it applies to law and the resolution of social issues. And it offers an effective new way for legal and medical professionals to collaborate smoothly and successfully.
