Publisher's Synopsis
New focuses of cancer prevention research are directed at identifying the cellular, molecular, and biochemical factors that can be used to predict future progression to neoplasia and to assess the efficacy of intervention agents, including certain nutrients that may inhibit or prevent this progression.;This collection of 33 papers explores these new possibilities and reports recent research findings. Discussions include the synthetic retinoids, one of the most promising chemopreventives, and dietary factors, which may also play a significant role in cancer prevention.;This should be of interest to oncologists and chemotherapists.
