註釋Abstract: A comprehensive overview of the current state of cancer research is designed for the general public. The material, prepared by a science writer, is based on presentations made at the 1983 annual meeting of the Institute of Medicine, focusing on the most recent discoveries in tumor biology, evidence linking diet to cancer, and aspects of cancer therapy and management. Topics include biological aspects of cancer (miscoded genes; oncogenes in human cancer; broken chromosomes); dietary factors and cancer (epidemiologic indications; dietary carcinogens and anti-carcinogens; new policy issues); and cancer therapy (chemotherapy; psychological and social impacts; US hospice care for terminal cancer). A glossary of terms is appended. (wz).
