SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
The year April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995, is the first year of the five-year program of the US-Japan Cooperative Cancer Research Program. The objective of the Etiology Program Area is to clarify the cause of human cancers and to determine the mechanisms of carcinogenesis. It has been envisaged that cancer prevention may be achieved eventually through progress in the science of cancer etiology. Four seminars were held during this period.
