International journal of occupational and environmental health, 2013 Evidence from studies in animals is essential for identifying chemicals likely to cause or contribute to many diseases in humans, including cancers. Yet, to avoid or delay the implementation of protective public health standards, the chemical industry ...

An Assessment on Ethanol-Blended Gasoline/Diesel Fuels on Cancer Risk and Mortality
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Although cancer is traditionally considered a genetic disease, the epigenetic abnormalities, including DNA hypermethylation, histone deacetylation, and/or microRNA dysregulation, have been demonstrated as a hallmark of cancer.

Dietary Compounds as Epigenetic Modulating Agents in Cancer
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression during normal development and their aberrant regulation may lead to human diseases including cancer. Natural phytochemicals can largely modulate mammalian epigenome through regulation of mechanisms and ...

Environmental risk factors for cancer - review paper.
Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2019 The cancerous process is result of disturbed cell function. This is due to the accumulation of many genetic and epigenetic changes within the cell, expressed in the accumulation of chromosomal or molecular aberrations, which leads to genetic instability.

Hallmarks of Cancer-Related Newly Prognostic Factors of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Head and neck cancer, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), is the sixth leading malignancy worldwide. OSCC is an aggressive tumor and its prognosis has exhibited little improvement in the last three decades.

Gender-related differences in response to mutagens and carcinogens.
Mutagenesis, 2010 The incidences of many cancers can be very different in men and women. Besides differences in exposures to putative causative agents, it is plausible that both genetic and epigenetic effects play roles in these differences.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1973 18 Carcinogens, including aflatoxin B(1), benzo(a)pyrene, acetylaminofluorene, benzidine, and dimethylamino-trans-stilbene, are shown to be activated by liver homogenates to form potent frameshift mutagens.
