Scientific summary

In cancer, my researches are on survivors : socio-economic status of adults having had a cancer in childhood ; return to work after cancer ; self-employed facing cancer. These studies are mixed method and cohort based, combining epidemiological and sociological approoaches.

In cancer and other fields, i investigate the history, sociology and regulation body of human experimentation.
