Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The persisting grim lung cancer incidence and mortality figures argue powerfully for new approaches such as chemoprevention for controlling this disease. Retinoids are among the most intensively studied cancer chemoprevention age

We have studied aspirin as a potential chemopreventive for colorectal cancer, completing Phase I studies on aspirin pharmacology and potential biomarker assays (prostaglandins, PGE 2 and PGF 2โฃ and cyclooxygenase modulation) in normal human subjects. These studies have determined the optimal dose of
In recent years, the concept of cancer chemoprevention has matured greatly. Significant reversal or suppression of premalignancy in several sites by chemopreventive agents appears achievable. This article summarizes experimental data on chemopreventive effects of tea polyphenols in different tumor b
Collaborative chemoprevention projects between the United States (US), China, Korea, and Japan are desirable because each country contributes significant specialized resources and expertise, making the projects proceed more rapidly than they could in any one country alone. The US offers experience i
Pre-operative staging should define the probable course of a patient's disease, separate the resectable from the unresectable patients, and identify the patients who are candidates for induction therapy. Pre-operative staging must be well tolerated and should provide new or important information tha
