This comprehensive volume presents a cross-section of reports from a variety of areas of cancer detection and treatment research. By focusing on the results of community-based prevention and control intervention programs, it examines a number of paradigms that community hospitals have developed for clinical research programs using the diverse skills of oncologists, nurses, and social workers. Highly detailed and practical, this work addresses the issues of basic biochemistry and molecular oncology as they relate to possible cancer prevention and intervention programs. Specific research data is provided on quitting smoking, chemoprevention and diet, breast cancer and bowel cancer screening, and cancer research and oncology practices in the community.
