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 ...

Carcinogenesis Associated with Toxin Nephropathy: Proposed Mediation by Phosphate Toxicity. [PDF]

Cells
Although 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.

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

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.

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.

Ocimum sanctum linn: An ethnomedicinal herb as a potential source of anti-carcinogen against various cancer diseases and effective ways to include the basil in everyday diet

International journal of health sciences, 2022
Ethno-medicines have been playing a vital role throughout human history in the day to day healthcare routine. Before the evolution of western medicine, for thousands of years, people have been using traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases.

Tobacco smoking as risk factor of laryngeal cancer

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Introduction: Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common type of head and neck cancers. It develops due to spontaneous mutation or influence of external factors (physical, biological and chemical).
