Carcinogenesis and cancer chemoprevention. Neoplastic process consists of three distinct, temporally ordered and linked stages: initiation, promotion, and progression. Chemopreventive agents are of two types: suppressing agents that inhibit the malignant transformation of initiated/preneoplastic cells and blocking agents that prevent the metabolic activation of procarcinogens [adapted from Ref.
