Perspective: Tackling the real issues.
- Authors
Hecht, Stephen S.
- Abstract
The article offers the author's insights on the importance of understanding the role of lifestyle factors in the cause and prevention of cancer. The author notes that effective tobacco control is contributing in the decrease of lung cancer incidence, thus preventive activities against tobacco-related cancer should be expanded by understanding the biochemical, genetic and behavioural mechanisms of smoking. He also cites the significance of continuous support on studies regarding cancer aetiology.
