Abstract
Possibilities for the prevention of cancer, particularly in relation t o the food supply, are considered. It is suggested that the growing re alization that cancer may be induced by more than one mechanism combin ed with a present lack of knowledge of the nature and level of natural ly-occurring carcinogens in food crops, makes successful prevention in humans exceedingly difficult.
