announced that Isaac Be-
renblum, retired professor
in the department of Ex-
perimental Biology at the
Weizmann Institute of Sci-
ence in Rehovot, Israel, is
one of four recipients this
year of its cancer research
awards.
-Berenblum was awarded
the Alfred P. Sloan Jr. Prize
here Wednesday for his dis-
covery which opens new
avenues for understanding
what cancer is, how it works
and suggests new ap-
proaches to cancer preven-
tion, the Foundation said.
The award consists of a gold
medal and $100,000.
" Dr. Berenblum's dis-
covery that cancer is a
stepwise process shows that
many substances now
thought of as carcinogens
are actually precarcinogens
that may either be reduced
to harmless compounds in
the body or activated into
"ultimate carcinogens."
Another substance must
enter the process to cause
the cell to grow into a clump
of similar cells and finally
into a full grown cancer. If
this process is interrupted.
anywhere along the way,
tumor production will be
stopped.
His work has been cited
more than 500 times in the
scientific literature during
the last three years.
