The leading 20th century proponent for primary prevention of environmental cancer was Dr. Lorenzo Tomatis, the former Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer and founder of the IARC Monographs program. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Tomatis--eminent scientist, scholar, teacher, humanitarian, and public health champion--and includes many perspectives that he promoted throughout his career, with original quotations from some of his scientific writings on primary prevention of environmental cancer. Any attempt by us to simply summarize his views would only detract from the power and logic of his language."Cancer still remains a mainly lethal disease. Primary prevention remains the most relevant approach to reduce mortality through a reduction in incidence".
20 世纪主要倡导环境癌症一级预防的人是 Lorenzo Tomatis 博士，他曾是国际癌症研究机构的主任，也是 IARC 专著计划的创始人。本文旨在纪念 Tomatis 博士——杰出的科学家、学者、教师、人道主义者和公共卫生拥护者——其中包括他在整个职业生涯中所倡导的许多观点，并引用了他关于环境癌症一级预防的一些科学著作中的原文。我们试图简单概括他的观点，只会削弱他语言的力量和逻辑。“癌症仍然是一种主要的致命疾病。一级预防仍然是通过降低发病率来降低死亡率的最相关方法。”
