Abstract:
Although the conference could not provide a definitive etiologic explanation for the observed increase in incidence of human brain tumors, particularly among the elderly, nevertheless, this interdisciplinary gathering of prominent scientists and clinicians proved invaluable in identifying new avenues of research. Clearly, the puzzle of what causes brain tumors is highly complex, involving links to ionizing/electromagnetic radiation, familial, and dietary factors. The Lebow Conference provided an important scientific framework upon which to build further research studies, and its influence will be felt for years to come.
