New Frontiers Of Cancer Causation

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Theories of Carcinogenesis, held in Oslo, Norway, August 1992. The papers, which discuss principles and theories rather than experimental setups and results, cover a wide range of topics, including cell proliferation, metastasis, oncogenes, carcinogens, genetic alterations, viruses, immunology, and radiation. Also detailed are public attitudes toward cancer, as well as attitudes of professionals in cancer research. The volume concludes with some brief considerations from speakers and participants.
