Food-Borne Chemical Carcinogens and the Evidence for Human Cancer Risk
Foods, 2022Commonly 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.

DNA Methylation as a Molecular Mechanism of Carcinogenesis in World Trade Center Dust Exposure: Insights from a Structured Literature Review. [PDF]
BiomoleculesThe collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings in New York City generated a large plume of dust and smoke. WTC dust contained human carcinogens including metals, asbestos, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), persistent organic pollutants ...

Key characteristics of carcinogens meet hallmarks for prevention-cutting the Gordian knot. [PDF]
Front OncolThe complexity of cancer requires a comprehensive approach to understand its diverse manifestations and underlying mechanisms. Initially outlined by Hanahan and Weinberg in 2000 and updated in 2010, the hallmarks of cancer provide a conceptual basis for ...

An elevated rate of whole-genome duplications in cancers from Black patients. [PDF]
Nat CommunIn the United States, Black individuals have higher rates of cancer mortality than any other racial group. Here, we examine chromosome copy number changes in cancers from more than 1800 self-reported Black patients. We find that tumors from self-reported

Investigating the different mechanisms of genotoxic and non-genotoxic carcinogens by a gene set analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014Based 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.

The research progress in the interaction between Candida albicans and cancers
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus, which tends to infect the host with defective immune function including cancer patients. A growing number of studies have shown that C. albicans infection increases the host susceptibility to cancer

Immunomodulatory role of black tea in the mitigation of cancer induced by inorganic arsenic [PDF]
Eur. Phys. J. Plus (2020) 135: 735, 2020We present a model analysis of the tumor and normal cell growth under the influence of a carcinogenic agent, an immunomdulator (IM) and variable influx of immune cells including relevant interactions. The tumor growth is facilitated by carcinogens such as inorganic arsenic while the IM considered here is black tea (Camellia sinesnsis).

Overview of occupational cancer in painters in Korea
Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2018Comprehensive consideration is necessary for setting guidelines to evaluate evidence of occupational cancer in painters due to work-related exposure to carcinogens in paint (a phenomenon termed herein as “work-relatedness”).
