Food-Borne Chemical Carcinogens and the Evidence for Human Cancer Risk

Foods, 2022
Commonly consumed foods and beverages can contain chemicals with reported carcinogenic activity in rodent models. Moreover, exposures to some of these substances have been associated with increased cancer risks in humans.

Breast cancer risk in relation to occupations with exposure to carcinogens and endocrine disruptors: a Canadian case–control study

Environmental Health, 2012
Background Endocrine disrupting chemicals and carcinogens, some of which may not yet have been classified as such, are present in many occupational environments and could increase breast cancer risk. Prior research has identified associations with breast

The differential role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in skin cancers induced by environmental carcinogens, including ultraviolet irradiation, arsenic exposure, and HPV infection

Dermatologica Sinica
Abstract The skin functions as the primary barrier organ in humans, safeguarding against environmental insults and challenges. Continuous skin turnover and effective immunosurveillance are critical for maintaining skin homeostasis and preventing the development of skin cancers induced by physical (ultraviolet [UV] irradiation), chemical ...

Epidemiology and aetiology of cancer of the uterine cervix including the detection of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines in the human vaginal vault.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1975
Cancer of the uterine cervix occurs with high frequency in black females of several populations of Southern Africa. It accounts for 40-50% of all cancers in Black females in the Johannesburg area and for over 40% of those in women in the rural lowveld area of the Transvaal. The aetiology of this cancer has several distinct features, almost all of which

Prevention of Carcinogen and Inflammation-Induced Dermal Cancer by Oral Rapamycin Includes Reducing Genetic Damage [PDF]

Cancer Prevention Research, 2015
Abstract Cancer prevention is a cost-effective alternative to treatment. In mice, the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin prevents distinct spontaneous, noninflammatory cancers, making it a candidate broad-spectrum cancer prevention agent. We now show that oral microencapsulated rapamycin (eRapa) prevents skin cancer in dimethylbenz(a)anthracene

Investigating the different mechanisms of genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens by a gene set analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Based on the process of carcinogenesis, carcinogens are classified as either genotoxic or non-genotoxic. In contrast to non-genotoxic carcinogens, many genotoxic carcinogens have been reported to cause tumor in carcinogenic bioassays in animals.
