Squamous Cancer of the Esophagus in Africa: A Causal Pathway Established
Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Biology, 2022 Squamous cancer of the esophagus has been endemic in much of East, Central and Southern Africa since the 1940s. Much research has concentrated on attempts to identify major carcinogenic influences, and failure to do so has made it clear that the problem ...

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.

Synthetic Receptors for Early Detection and Treatment of Cancer
Biosensors, 2023 Over recent decades, synthetic macrocyclic compounds have attracted interest from the scientific community due to their ability to selectively and reversibly form complexes with a huge variety of guest moieties. These molecules have been studied within a

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.

Gut Microbiota and Colon Cancer: A Role for Bacterial Protein Toxins?
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Accumulating evidence indicates that the human intestinal microbiota can contribute to the etiology of colorectal cancer. Triggering factors, including inflammation and bacterial infections, may favor the shift of the gut microbiota from a mutualistic to
