Dietary factors influence the risk of lung, esophageal, stomach, colorectal, breast, and cervical cancers, as reviewed in Japanese studies. The study aims to develop an effective community cancer plan focused on lifestyle improvement. The authors outline individual and community cancer plans that target diet, smoking, drinking, nutrition, and industry support. These components are considered the true foundations of an individual cancer plan.
Summary The effect of diet on cancers of the lung, esophagus, stomach, colon, breast, and cervix is reviewed, based on a series of studies in Japan. Individual and community cancer plans are discussed with special reference to diet. It is our hope to develop an effective and essential community cancer plan with an emphasis on lifestyle improvement. This includes proper management of problems of smoking, drinking, diet, and nutrition and the sound growth of supporting industries for each of these items. It is believed that these are the real bases of an individual cancer plan.
