PREFACE
This volume is based on the proceedings of an Advanced Study
Institute (ASI) sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) held October 1984 in Corfu, Greece. The meeting received finan-
cial support from the United States Department of Energy and the United
States National Cancer Institute.
A plethora of recent developments in the molecular biology of DNA
are leading to new ideas concerning how DNA alterations might be
involved in the mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis. Evidence is
accumulating that genetic sequences, known as oncogenes, are involved in
the translation of DNA molecular alterations into phenotypic changes
associated with malignant cells.
For example, a chromosome break often occurs at or near the loca-
tion of a specific oncogene in Burkitt's lymphoma. Such breaks could
represent initial lesions in a translocation process that activates the
oncogene by inserting it at a new location, eg., near an active pro-
moter. Since breakage of the DNA is one of the principal ways that ion-
izing radiation affects mammalian cells, these new molecular ideas sug-
gest ways that radiation-induced DNA breaks might be involved as initial
events in carcinogenesis.
While the possible involvement of oncogenes in radiation carcino-
genesis is an exciting new development, a direct sequential connection
between early molecular changes in DNA and later tumor development has
yet to be established. Accordingly, there is a tremendous need for
experimental studies of how DNA alterations might convert normal cells
to cancer cells.
One purpose of the Corfu meeting was to bring together people
working on the molecular biology of radiation-induced DNA damage with
others interested in the mechanisms of radiation carcinogenesis. Parti-
cipants at the meeting, as well as the designated faculty, were
encouraged to make informal presentations of their work, and many of
these are included in the current volume. The book is organized into
general subject areas, each containing a number of chapters. Within
each subject area, review chapters are located at the beginning, and the
research-type contributions are located closer to the end.
v
Pleasant memories of the meeting itself still linger, including
recollections of the excitement of productive discussions among people
with diverse interests and backgrounds. We hope that some of the
excitement has been captured in the contents of the current volume. The
editors warmly thank all contributors who so willingly shared their
knowledge and ideas. We also thank Mary Bader for typing the manuscript
in its entirety and Michael Snow for expertly applying the finishing
touches.
