NEW CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ONCOLOGY
FORMED AT UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
CANCER INSTITUTE

Leading Expert on Environmental Dangers and Best Selling Author
Recruited as Director and Professor of Public Health

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20 -- Devra Davis, PhD, MPH, award-winning author
of the best-seller
When Smoke Ran Like Water: Tales of Environmental Deception and the
Battle Against Pollution,
has been recruited by the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute
(UPCI) to direct a new center for environmental oncology.

The mission of the center, based on an approach that is
prevention-focused and multi-disciplinary, is to reduce the risk of
cancer by applying the latest scientific findings on the avoidable
causes of cancer to protect individuals and the community at large.

"Most of our national efforts against cancer have focused on detecting
and treating disease after it has occurred,"
said Ronald Herberman, MD,
director of UPCI and the UPMC Cancer Centers.
"While this type of research is imperative, we simultaneously need to
greatly improve our research efforts to develop effective
interventions to address the known and suspected causes of cancer that
may help us in our efforts at prevention.
The development of this center is a crucial step in that direction and
Devra is unquestionably the best person for the job, given the breadth
of her knowledge and expertise in this area."

"Dr. Davis is a national leader in the field of epidemiology. We
anticipate that she will have a major impact in synthesizing the vast
amount of scientific data that is available on the causes of cancer
and converting this information into effective public policy and
education programs," said Bernard Goldstein, MD, dean of the
University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH).

In her role as director of the new program, Dr. Davis, who also will
serve as professor of epidemiology at GSPH, will work
to create a center for excellence in research, education and public
policy that seeks to identify novel causes of cancer,
to develop and evaluate instruments for assessment and control of
environmental risk factors for cancer and strategies to protect people
from environmental cancer risks,
and to create public and professional programs that inform, educate
and change individual and institutional behaviors.

According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated two-thirds of
all cancer cases are linked to environmental causes;
many of these to lifestyle factors that can be modified.

"There are about ten million cancer survivors in the United States
today, each of whom is concerned with both their own survival and with
preventing disease from occurring in their family members,"
said Dr. Davis.
"Unfortunately, however, aside from smoking, drinking, other bad
habits, and some workplace exposures, most cases of cancer occur in
people who have led otherwise healthy lives.
Patterns of the disease remain largely unexplained.
With this new center, we aim to more fully understand our risks for
developing cancer by identifying controllable conditions and urging
prudent ways to lower the risk of the disease.
One of our first goals is to discover and promote concrete steps that
can be taken by individuals, hospitals, health professionals, the
surrounding communities, and private and public sector organizations
to prevent cancer and reduce the chance of recurrence."

According to Dr. Davis, research at the center seeks to address a key
question:
What causes the majority of people who are born with a healthy array
of genes, some 95 percent of women with breast cancer, for example,
to develop defects during their lifetime that lead to cancer?

"While we know that there are more cases of cancer today because the
population is older, and the technology for identifying disease has
advanced, we cannot explain most cases of this disease,"
commented Dr. Davis.

A few of the environmental risk factors that will be examined at the
center include good and bad personal habits, such as nutrition,
exercise, alcohol drinking and smoking as well as factors in the
physical and chemical environment that have been linked to cancer such
as toxic chemicals, indoor and outdoor air pollutants, chlorination
by-products in domestic water, ingredients in personal care products,
and organochlorine residues in animal and fish fat.

By evaluating and consolidating the information on these and other
cancer hazards and prevention strategies, the program seeks to create
communication programs to inform patients, their families, the
government and private sector about hazards that can be controlled to
keep cancer from arising and the steps that can be taken to reduce the
chance that cancer will recur.
