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.

Occupational Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Elevated Cancer Incidence in Firefighters [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Cancer incidence appears to be higher amongst firefighters compared to the general population. Given that many cancers have an environmental component, their occupational exposure to products of carbon combustion such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (

Carcinogenesis Associated with Toxin Nephropathy: Proposed Mediation by Phosphate Toxicity [PDF]
CellsAlthough cancer is often considered a genetic disease, genotoxic damage to nuclear DNA caused by carcinogens is not always sufficient to stimulate cancer cell growth, suggesting that other etiological factors are involved.

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.
