✦ Synopsis

It has been estimated that SO-SO% of the cancer rate in the U. S. can be attributed to environmental factors. For the last 20 years the role of smoking has been recognized by the scientific community. However it is only recently that the role of diet, i.e., food and beverages in carcinogenesis has beguh to be recognized. it is likely that diet is more important than smoking in eancer causation. Both human and animal studies support this assumption. The,study of special populations in the U. S. such as the Mormons and the Seventh Day Adventists also point to the potential of reducing U. S. cancer rates and individual risk factors through the modification of dietary habits. The major hypotheses of the role of dietary and nutritional factors in cancer etiology are examined in light of current scientific knowledge. General guideline for the reduction of risk from the major chronic diseases are also discussed.

## Abstract TRAIL raises hopes as a promising anti‐tumor agent due to its selectivity toward cancer cells. Higher expression of its pro‐death receptors TRAIL‐R1 (DR4) and TRAIL‐R2 (DR5) attenuates higher sensitivity to TRAIL‐induced apoptosis, and represents a marker for better cancer prognosis and
