Summary
Evidence that the various common types of cancer are largely avoidable diseases is reviewed and suggests that, apart from cancer of the respiratory tract, the types ofcancer that are currently common are not peculiarly modern diseases and are likely to depend chiefly on some long-established factor(s).
