Winning the cancer fight: a look at the future.
Early in the 21st century, control of cancer is considered a major public health issue. Research advances are rapidly unraveling molecular genetic changes, which are the basis of human cancer. These advances are changing the way primary care providers will practice in the future. New genetic screening tools, early detection tests, and cancer prevention intervention will become routinely used in primary care.
