Summary: Professor MSR Hutt and Dr MJ Hill discuss the value of population studies in our understanding of the aetiology of tumours. Studies on immigrant populations, for instance, show that their pattern of tumours tends to change with their exposure to their new environment. Examples are given of tumours which can be related in the wide sense to the physical and biological environment - solar cancers and Burkitt's lymphoma and to the social and cultural environment - lung and breast cancer. Further studies are used to show how the Western diet may result in a high incidence of carcinoma of the large bowel. 7 segments.
