This Consensus Statement reviews the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of a panel of experts convened by the American cancer Society Task Force on Children and cancer to discuss the potential value of mass screening of children for neuroblastoma.
This article reports the results of the first national survey of state health agencies to obtain opinions from key personnel about nutrition and cancerprevention activities. The issues discussed are relevant to all e...
The evaluation of programs with multiple, and potentially conflicting, goals requires the integration of measures of goal achievement that often are not easily combined. One approach is the development of analytical t...

Time-related factors have been an integral aspect of laboratory and epidemiologic studies concerning the effects of diet on cancer. In this survey, we illustrate several ways in which consideration of time factors has furthered our understanding in this area. As one of the key dimensions in descriptive studies of secular trends and migrant populations, time factors suggest general associations between diet and cancer. The investigation of time-related parameters such as age, duration of dietary exposure, and time from exposure to cancer, lends greater specificity to the diet-cancer relationship. Both micro- and macro-nutrients are examined, as well as nutrition-mediated factors such as growth and anthropometry. Time-related issues relevant to the design of future observational and intervention studies of diet and cancer (i.e. critical etiologic periods, timing of dietary assessment, biological indicators, and secular trends) are also discussed.

Oncology: An Evidence-Based Approach is a textbook designed to reflect the principles and current practice of oncology with contributors from the fields of medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. The textbook will incorporate an evidence-based approach, enabling the reader to make decisions on the basis of concrete data. Sections on solid tumors, hematologic malignancies and the practice of oncology address the natural history and therapy for the full spectrum of neoplastic diseases in the adult. Further sections present fundamentals of supportive care of the cancer patient, the management of oncologic emergencies and acute toxicities of therapy, as well as care of metastatic disease and the terminally-ill patient. Breaking new ground, the textbook features thoughtful, in-depth sections on cancerprevention and control, cancer surviorship, the economics of cancer care, and cancer informatics. cancer imaging is covered with an organ system-based approach, with an additional chapter on the especially intriguing potential of PET. Furthermore, a comprehensive section on translational basic science reviews the fundamentals of molecular biology, the cell cycle and signal transduction, carcinogenesis, cancer genetics, the biology of invations and metastasis, and tumor immunology.
