Cancer can arise spontaneously, but can also be induced as a result of environmental factors ach as sun exposure, infections, and tobacco smoking. If you were asked to help allocate resources to cancer research, what emphasis would you place on research to find cancer cures, compared to that placed on education about cancer prevention?
¦HINT: This problem asks you to consider the outcomes of two different approaches to cancer research. The key to its solution is to think about the relative rates of environmentally induced and spontaneous cancers. (An interesting source of information on this topic is Ames, 8. N. et al. 1995. The causes and prevention of cancer. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92: 5258-5265.)
