Chemoprevention is a clinical strategy to block or reverse carcinogenesis before the development of invasive cancer. Studies of chemoprevention in the lungs and upper aerodigestive tract have relied on the field carcinogenesis hypothesis, which predicts that diffuse epithelial injury will result from exposure of that epithelium to carcinogens. This hypothesis is supported by the frequent occurr...
