In these 31 articles, contributors describe current trends in modifying risk factors for cancer, the creation of a framework for public health intervention design, and methodologies in cancer prevention and control, including involvement in assessments of the quality of life. They show how behavioral sciences are being used to reduce cancer incidence, for example, in smoking cessation, dietary control, and methods of controlling behaviors related to skin and gynecological cancer. They also describe involvement in dealing with the results of early screening, in serving on the clinical care team and caring for families, and in cases of survivorship issues. They close with articles on future directions, including the study of brain and behavior and cancer immunity, public health practice, and effective interventions.
