Food-Borne Chemical Carcinogens and the Evidence for Human Cancer Risk [PDF]
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.

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 ...

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.

The research progress in the interaction between Candida albicans and cancers
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Candida 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, 2020 We 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).
