Citation | Professor Cuzick is a mathematician and an epidemiologist. Cuzick’s particular scientific achievement that justifies being elected a Fellow is that he is one of a handful of individuals who have successfully applied numerical methods to preventive medicine. In the field of cancer prevention he is, perhaps, unique in having tested scientific advances by means of large scale randomised trials that influenced medical practice throughout the world. He has pioneered the use of medicines as prophylactic agents in the control of cancer rather than as therapeutic agents and in doing so has attained a world-wide recognition as a ground-breaking medical scientist. |
