The question regarding the preventability of cancer is one of great interest and debate. This book presents all the available evidence on the subject, by describing the occurrence of, and variations in, the different forms of cancer. It provides information on risk factors causally associated with human cancer and estimates the extent to which deaths from cancer at specific body sites could actually be prevented.Following an outline of the methods of descriptive epidemiology, data are presented on occurrence of cancer at all the main sites. Various categories of carcinogenic agents are then reviewed, such as single chemicals, complex mixtures, drugs, radiation, diet, and biological factors. Prevention is reviewed in terms of the effects of screening and of possibilities for primary prevention.
