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

## Abstract Tea is the second only to water as the most consumed beverage in the world. Both green and black teas have been studied for their health benefits for a variety of diseases, particularly cancer. Lung cancer is the predominant cause of cancer mortality in developed countries. Smokersβ ris
Molecular epidemiology has made great progress in detecting and documenting carcinogenic exposures and host susceptibility factors, in an effort to explain interindividual variation in disease. Interindividual differences in cancer risk have been hypothesized to result from an array of both genetic
Carcinoma of the lung is the most common cause of death from cancer in the United States. In considering lung cancer for possible chemoprevention trials, we have analyzed the data collected by the collaborative NCI program on early lung cancer. The data indicate that at least 12 years of study of 80
Encouraging results from several recent trials have increased interest in the potential of chemoprevention in reducing the incidence of cancer. Treatment with 1 3 4 sretinoic acid has reversed oral leukoplakia, a premalignant lesion, and prevented the development of second primary carcinomas of the
Specific genetic alterations affecting known tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes occur during mouse lung tumorigenesis. These include mutational activation of the K-ras gene, commonly seen at a frequency of about 80% in both spontaneously occurring and chemically induced adenomas and adenocar
