Cancer Statistics
• From 1930 until 1989 there was a steady overall rise in the age-adjusted death rate due to cancer
• Since 1989 the mortality trend is downward
• Major cause of increase over 60 years was increasing tobacco use and lung cancer
• The current trend down is due at least in part to decreased tobacco use

Etiology of Cancer
• The most common way of treating cancer today is to treat after detection
• Ideal strategy is prevention:– eliminate/reduce controllable risk factors
• smoking, diet, alcohol
– chemoprevention• tamoxifen {breast}• finasteride {prostate} -investigational• retinoids {head and neck} -investigational

prevent cell from dividing ‘out of control’• wt = ‘prevent’ cell from becoming a tumor
• mutant = unable to prevent tumor-genesis
