Research interests

Professor Franco's research during the last 20 years has focussed mainly on the molecular epidemiology and prevention of cervical cancer, upper aero-digestive tract cancers and childhood tumours, and the development of statistical methods for evaluating efficacy of cancer screening strategies and assessing the impact of measurement error in epidemiology. He has also conducted studies of societal and clinical influences on the survival of cancer patients and written a variety of statistical software programs for epidemiologic data analysis. Much of his research has been international, with collaborative projects in Brazil, the Congo Republic, US, and with the International Agency for Research on Cancer, in France.
