Environmental carcinogens often exacerbate endogenous mutagenic processes to enhance tumor promotion [PDF]

Cell Reports
Summary: Environmental exposures significantly influence cancer risk, but their mutational impact remains unclear. We perform whole-exome sequencing of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) from B6C3F1/N mice that arise spontaneously with age (2 years old) or

Molecular mechanisms of air pollution–induced carcinogenesis and the emerging role of microplastics [PDF]

Human Genomics
Ambient air pollution is a major environmental carcinogen consisting of a complex mixture of particulate matter, gases, and adsorbed toxicants. Fine (PM2.5) and ultrafine (PM0.1) particles are of particular concern due to their capacity to penetrate deep

Chemopreventive roles of medicinal foods against environmental carcinogens-induced cancers [PDF]

World Cancer Research Journal, 2021
Objective: Cancer remains the major cause of death globally apart from cardiovascular diseases. Behavioural and dietary risks could trigger up to 70% of new cancer cases in the next 20 years based on speculations.

Release of PAH from Secondary Products Made from End-of-Life Tire Recyclates into 20% Aqueous Ethanol as Assessment of Human Dermal Absorption

Recycling, 2022
Compliance with the legal limits set at the European level for the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which are harmful to human health and the environment, is of central importance for the recycling of rubber, particularly end-of-life ...

Environmental carcinogens disproportionally mutate genes implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionDe novo mutations contribute to a large proportion of sporadic psychiatric and developmental disorders, yet the potential role of environmental carcinogens as drivers of causal de novo mutations in neurodevelopmental disorders is poorly ...

A tiered approach to prioritizing registered pesticides for potential cancer hazard evaluations: implications for decision making

Environmental Health, 2021
Background Over 800 pesticides are registered for use in the United States. Human studies indicate concern that some pesticides currently in use in large quantities may also pose a carcinogenic hazard.

Predictors of Multiple Primary Malignancies: Literature Review

Креативная хирургия и онкология, 2023
The present paper considers the predictors of multiple primary malignancies. The multiple primary malignancies are often induced by genetic predisposition and familial cancer syndromes, environmental carcinogens and bad habits (e.g.

The Mutagenic Impact of Environmental Exposures in Human Cells and Cancer: Imprints Through Time

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
During life, the DNA of our cells is continuously exposed to external damaging processes. Despite the activity of various repair mechanisms, DNA damage eventually results in the accumulation of mutations in the genomes of our cells.
