Abstract

One of the most dreaded diseases of our time is cancer, the topic of this symposium. This disease originates from a single cell, or groups of cells, which become neoplastic or tumorigenic. Also, as indicated from the topics of this symposium, this neoplastic transformation often has a large input from external/environmental factors, particularly man-made. This dread disease then becomes closely related to our personal and economic lives and has a large impact on health care and the economic activities of our society.
