Some Geocancerological Diseases

Abstract

Reviews determining factors for cancer – both intrinsic (cellular oncogenes and growth factors) and extrinsic (viruses, soil composition, wastewater recycling, dietetic factors and chemoprevention). Concludes that it should be possible progressively to eliminate the extrinsic factors from our ecosystems. Discusses geographic variations in cancer frequency, incidence among migrant populations, victims′ habits and occupational cancers.
