In 1981, two eminent British cancer experts. Sir Richard Doll and Richard Peto published a paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute entitled The causes of cancer Quantitative estimates of avoidable risks of cancer in the United States today. The authors drew upon a vast body of literature of the type mentioned above, and attempted to allocate the deaths caused by cancers among various responsible factors. The authors concluded that a certain percentage of human cancer deaths could be avoided if exposure to the responsible factors could be eliminated or controlled in some way, although the appropriate degree and nature of control for some of the lifestyle factors, especially diet, is still highly uncertain. The Doll and Peto estimates are presented in Table 5.2. The factors are listed in a somewhat different order from how they were listed by the original authors, because of our interest in clearly separating lifestyle factors (the first...

Attacks on antiperspirants have been fuelled by reports on the internet saying that they cause breast cancer. In 2002 a paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute refuted these accusations and reported that there was no indication that antiperspirants (or deodorants) had been more heavily used by women with breast cancer. This study by Dana Mirick and colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center of Seattle compared 813 women who had been treated for breast cancer with 793 women who did not have the disease, with care being taken to ensure that the two groups matched in terms of age profiles and other factors. In fact there is no scientific evidence to show how aluminium from deodorants could possibly gain access...

In addition to technical reports, the National Institutes of Health issue several other publications. One of these is the Journal of the National Cancer Institute which publishes not only a large part of the work done at the National Cancer Institute but also research in many other institutions in the U.S. and other countries. It is available from GPO at 20 a year for 12 issues. Another publication is the Psychopharmacology Service Center Bulletin which is distributed at irregular intervals by the Psychopharmocology Service Center, National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda 14, Md. It is issued for information purposes to investigators interested in psychopharmacology. Two other publications of NIH are Cancer Chemotherapy Reports and Cancer Chemotherapy Abstracts which may be obtained from National Cancer Institute, Publication Office, Room 213 Robin Building, Bethesda 14, Md.
