Recent progress in understanding key events in carcinogenesis, early cancer detection, therapeutic interventions to prevent cancer, public policy, and biobehavioral approaches toward cancer control was the subject of the 6th Annual AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research held on December 5 to 8, 2007, in Philadelphia, PA. Abundant preclinical and clinical data show that invasive cancer is preventable, yet clinical strategies to decrease society's cancer burden through prevention, early detection, and lifestyle modification are still in the early phases of development and implementation. The conference explored the multiple facets of cancer prevention and provided an update on the progress and challenges in this rapidly developing field.
2007年12月5日至8日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的第六届美国癌症研究协会(AACR)癌症预防研究前沿国际年会,探讨了癌症发生过程中关键事件、早期癌症检测、预防癌症的治疗干预措施、公共政策以及癌症控制的生物行为方法等方面的最新进展。大量临床前和临床数据表明,浸润性癌症是可预防的,然而,通过预防、早期检测和生活方式改变来减轻社会癌症负担的临床策略仍处于发展和实施的早期阶段。本次会议探讨了癌症预防的多个方面,并介绍了这一快速发展领域的进展和挑战。
