This interesting cancer epidemiology study was conducted in Verona. It
represented one of the first statistical analysis in this field.
Perhaps the first modern epidemiological study of cancer was conducted
in 1842 by Rigoni-Stern, who attempted to
quantify the risks of uterine cancer among nuns compared with other
women in the city of Verona; he showed that
the
disease was significantly less common in the former group.
