Abstract
C.S. Yang opened the workshop by welcoming the participants, and he stated the purposes of the workshop. Research on diet, nutrition and cancer prevention is recognized as an important area of research, yet this area of research is not well funded. The purpose of the workshop is to strengthen this area of research by discussing how to select more relevant problems, develop attractive hypotheses, and use effective approaches to obtain research aims. Other important tasks are to convey the importance of the research and to increase the funding in the area of diet and cancer prevention. A proposed outline of discussion for the workshop was presented (Appendix 1).
