ABSTRACT

As noted in Chapter 37. there are many definitions for the word risk. It is a combination of uncertainty and damage; a ratio of hazards to safeguards; a triplet combination of event, probability, and consequences; or even a measure of economic loss or human injury in terms of both the incident likelihood and the magnitude of the loss or injury [1]. People face all kinds of risks every day, some voluntarily and others involuntarily. Therefore, risk plays a very important role in today's world. Studies on cancer caused a turning point in the world of risk because it opened the eyes of risk scientists and health professionals to the world of risk assessments.
