Pharmacogenomics in Cancer Treatment: Challenges and Opportunities in African Settings

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cancer incidence in Africa is projected to reach 2.1 million new cases annually by 2040. Current treatment guidelines remain largely based on pharmacogenomic data predominantly from European and Asian genetic profiles, potentially compromising safety and efficacy in African patients.

Haemoglobin adducts of acrylonitrile and ethylene oxide in acrylonitrile workers, dependent on polymorphisms of the glutathione transferases GSTT1 and GSTM1

open access: yes, 1999
Fifty-nine persons with industrial handling of low levels of acrylonitrile (AN) were studied. As part of a medical surveillance programme an extended haemoglobin adduct monitoring [N-(cyanoethyl)valine, CEV; N- (methyl)valine, MV; N-(hydroxyethyl)valine,

Molecular basis of gene-environment interactions in the pathogenesis of asthma and COPD

open access: yes, 2010
The origins of respiratory disease, such as asthma in childhood and COPD in later life are unclear. Maternal smoking during pregnancy and low birth weight is associated with increased risk of asthma, poor lung function in adults and COPD in old age ...

Association between null Genotypes of glutathione S-transferase M1 and T1 and susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus: A meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yesScripta Medica
Oxidative stress is involved in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It is well known that activity of the glutathione S-transferase superfamily has a protective effect against oxidative stress.

Environmental Pesticide Exposure in the Etiology of Pediatric Brain Tumors and Leukemia: A Scoping Review of Epidemiological Studies

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1360-1384, 15 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Up-regulation of GSTT1 in serous ovarian cancer associated with resistance to TAXOL / carboplatin

open access: yesJournal of Ovarian Research, 2021
Serous ovarian cancer (SOC) is the most common women cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among the gynaecological malignancies. Although effective chemotherapeutics combined with surgery are developed for the treatment, the five-year
