This volume directs attention to the goal of chemoprevention. Topics include analyses of at-risk populations, problems in early detection, experimental approaches to cancer prevention, and preventative trials. The most recent approaches to chemoprevention are highlighted, with a particular focus on the use of diet-derived compounds. Special emphasis is placed on the prevention of breast, colon, and prostate cancer.

From the Laboratory to the Clinic : Implications of Genetic, Molecular, and Preventive Research

Cancer Prevention

Jack Fishman

This volume contains papers presented at a conference on Genetics and the Environment which was held by the Strang International Cancer Prevention Center on November 15th and 16th, 1996 in New York. The text seeks to describe the evolution and current status of human cancer genetics and the current role of molecular diagnosis. It elucidates the significance of mutations in specific cancer-related genes and the ethical implications of genetic testing. Environmental factors such as tobacco and toxic chemicals that have an important impact on cancer risk are also discussed.

Genetics and the Environment

Cancer

Guiseppe Carruba

This volume is designed to provide an updated picture of the existing knowledge about the association between steroid enzyme expression/function and the development and/or progression of major human cancers, including classical (breast, prostate) and nonclassical (lung, liver) hormone-related tumors.
