The Causes and Prevention of Cancer: The Role of Environment

Author: Ames, Bruce N.; Gold, Lois Swirsky

Description: The idea that synthetic chemicals such as DDT are major contributors to human cancer has been inspired, in part, by Rachel Carson’s passionate book, Silent Spring. This chapter discusses evidence showing why this is not true. We also review research on the causes of cancer, and show why much cancer is preventable.
