My Half-Life in Teratology

A Key to Cancer Etiology
  • Robert W. Miller
Chapter

Abstract

My career has been by drift rather than by design. Research was not even in my mind when I graduated from medical school. In each new venture since then I tried to build on what had gone before, not wasting any of it: training in medicine, then pediatrics, followed by the study of radiation effects, epidemiology, teratogenesis, and carcinogenesis. For 30 years my professional life has been in cancer etiology, with a good portion devoted to teratology. Here is an account of the teratologic half.
