The dramatic decrease in the incidence of stomach cancer in
industrialized countries during the past 50 years, which is yet to
be fully explained, and the observation that carcinogenesis in
laboratory animals can be inhibited by antioxidants, retinoids, and
caloric restriction, among other influences, challenge us to press
on in the search for practical means to prevent cancer. It is in
relation to this goal that the studies summarized in this book have
special significance. This book is based on the invited and
contributed papers presented at the Third Internationai Conference
on Anticarcinogenesis and Radiation Protection, held on October
15-21, 1989, in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia. They cover a broad range of
investigations into the mechanisms and inhibition of
carcinogenesis. In keeping with recent advances in our
understanding of the importance of oncogenes and tumor-suppressor
genes in carcinogenesis, many of the reports focus on mutations and
related changes at the level of DNA. At the same time, however,
other reports deal with nutritional, immunological,
endocrinological, and epidemiological aspects. In all, the various
reports address carcinogenesis and its inhibition at virtually
every level of biological organization. Included in this compendium
are timely reviews of diverse and promising research strategies for
cancer prevention, as pursued by investigators in different parts
of the world. The Organizers of the Conference are grateful to the
many scientists who have contributed to the volume, as well as to
the sponsors of the Conference, without whose generous support this
book would not have been possible.
