- W53833298 abstract "ABSTRACT The background to recent developments in environmental carcinogenesis and geographical pathology are summarized as providing an introduction to the requirements of modern societies, including the important pioneering role played by the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer in its formative years. Data from a variety of sources including studies on high risk groups, geographical variations in incidence, as well as changes in cancer patterns, especially in migrants, have increasingly confirmed the important role - whether direct or indirect - played by environmental factors in many human cancers. In certain societies, the environmental stimuli causing between 30% to 50% of human cancers have been identified, of which cancers due to the cultural environment form by far the largest group. These include mouth, oesophagus, lung, liver and skin. The importance of cancers related to occupational and iatrogenic stimuli are discussed not only in terms of aetiology, but also in relation to conceptual preventative approaches. The possible role of environmental and other agents in cancers of unknown origin are reviewed, and the concept of “lifestyle” discussed. The implications of recent observations in terms of primary cancer prevention and future research are examined in relation to the necessity to distinguish between hazards to which man has already been exposed, and exposure to new potential hazards. The value of an approach integrating laboratory and epidemiological techniques is emphasized, including “metabolic epidemiology” and better extrapolation, both qualitative and quantitative." @default.
