title: Cancer and environment.
abstract: The attention of scientists has been directed mostly to analyze the influence of the environment on tumor induction. However, the external environment can also enhance the reactivity of the host organism towards tumors, by activating several immune mechanisms. Moreover, the host organism is the first "foreign" environment with which tumor cells come into contact in a dynamic way, characterized by a continuous evolution.
