title: Mechanistic and other considerations in cancer prevention.
abstract: Possibilities for the prevention of cancer, particularly in relation to the food supply, are considered. It is suggested that the growing realization that cancer may be induced by more than one mechanism combined with a present lack of knowledge of the nature and level of naturally-occurring carcinogens in food crops, makes successful prevention in humans exceedingly difficult.
