Environmental Carcinogenesis as a Stochastic Evolutionary Failure of Senescence-Control Systems [PDF]
CellsEnvironmental carcinogenesis is traditionally explained by the accumulation of genetic alterations induced by exogenous carcinogens. However, most exposed cells do not undergo malignant transformation because intrinsic tumor-suppressive mechanisms limit ...

Awareness of environmental carcinogens and cancer risk among Jordanians
Journal of the Egyptian Public Health AssociationBackground In light of the existing body of scientific data, many substances are now recognized or reasonably assumed to be human carcinogens. Public knowledge about modifiable environmental carcinogens is regarded as a crucial first step in primary ...

Epidemiological Research on Occupational and Environmental Carcinogens [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The cancer risk associated with exposure to environmental and occupational carcinogens such as asbestos, benzene, radiation, or lifestyle carcinogens such as cigarette smoking depends on the entire history of exposure to the carcinogen, including the age of exposure and the time-varying intensity of exposure [...]

The multitude and diversity of environmental carcinogens
Environmental Research, 2007 We have recently proposed that lifestyle-related factors, screening and aging cannot fully account for the present overall growing incidence of cancer. In order to propose the concept that in addition to lifestyle related factors, exogenous environmental factors may play a more important role in carcinogenesis than it is expected, and may therefore ...

A signature-agnostic test for differences between tumor mutation spectra reveals carcinogen and ancestry effects [PDF]
Communications BiologyDespite dozens of tools to identify mutational signatures in cancer samples, there is not an established metric for quantifying whether signature exposures differ significantly between two heterogeneous groups of samples.
