Tapping into a growing body of knowledge about the origins and progression of cancer, researchers are now developing and testing new preventive therapies to stop it in its tracks.

At the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, April 12-16, researchers present data on the preventive effects of celecoxib and atorvastatin and vitamin D in colorectal, prostate and breast cancer, respectively, and the relationship between diet, metabolism and the development of pancreatic cancer.
