Air Pollution and Human Cancer analyzes the evidence for the
possible contribution of air pollution to the origin of human
cancer. Distinguished experts in various areas of cancer research
report on: - air pollution and cancer: an old and a new problem; -
sources, nature and levels of air pollutants; - measurement and
monitoring of individual exposures; - experimental evidence for the
carcinogenicity of air pollutants; - epidemiological evidence on
air pollution and cancer; - cancer risk estimation and prevention.
The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a
need for information, education and training in the field of the
diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are two main reasons why
such an initiative was considered necessary. Firstly, the teaching
of oncology requires a rigorously multidisciplinary approach which
is difficult for the Universities to put into practice since their
system is mainly disciplinary orientated. Secondly, the rate of
technological development that impinges on the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer has been so rapid that it is not an easy task
for medical faculties to adapt their curricula flexibly. With its
residential courses for organ pathologies and the seminars on new
techniques (laser, monoclonal antibodies, imaging techniques etc.)
or on the principal therapeutic controversies (conservative or
mutilating surgery, primary or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy
alone or integrated), it is the ambition of the European School of
Oncology to fill a cultural and scientific gap and, thereby, create
a bridge between the University and Industry and between these two
and daily medical practice. One of the more recent initiatives of
ESO has been the institution of permanent study groups, also called
task forces, where a limited number of leading experts are invited
to meet once a year with the aim of defining the state of the art
and possibly reaching a consensus on future developments in
specific fields of oncology.
