The above comments only partially reflect current research and interventions in cancer prevention, but they do lead to at least two simple conclusions: first, we are at an embryonic stage in the development of cancer prevention activities. Although the reasons for this are somewhat arcane and complex, it is nevertheless disappointing. Second, there is a growing commitment to and enthusiasm for prevention activity, albeit it to differing degrees and at different levels. In many centers it appears that there is interest, and while ill-defined, there is evidence for the search for structure and function. This is even being reinforced with the allocation of resources. On the other hand, several centers have already made the commitment, and seemed to have gained the respect of the scientific community both intra and extramurally in their respective orientations.
上述评论仅部分反映了当前癌症预防方面的研究和干预措施，但它们确实至少得出了两个简单结论：其一，我们在癌症预防活动的发展上仍处于萌芽阶段。尽管其原因有些晦涩复杂，但这仍然令人失望。其二，对预防活动的投入和热情在不断增加，尽管程度和层面各不相同。在许多中心，似乎都存在兴趣，虽然尚不明确，但有寻求架构和功能的迹象。资源的分配甚至强化了这一点。另一方面，一些中心已经做出了承诺，并且在各自的方向上似乎已在国内外科学界赢得了尊重。
