TY - JOUR T1 - Lung cancer • 1: Prevention of lung cancer JF - Thorax JO - Thorax SP - 994 LP - 999 DO - 10.1136/thorax.57.11.994 VL - 57 IS - 11 AU - G E Goodman Y1 - 2002/11/01 UR - http://thorax.bmj.com/content/57/11/994.abstract N2 - Cancer of the lung causes more deaths from cancer worldwide than at any other site. The environmental, genetic, and dietary risk factors are discussed and progress in chemoprevention is reviewed. A better understanding of the molecular events that occur during carcinogenesis has opened up new areas of research in cancer prevention and a number of biochemical markers of high risk individuals have been identified. It is predicted that greater success in chemoprevention will be achieved in the next decade than in the last. ER -
