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 ...

Establishing a Policy Framework for the Primary Prevention of Occupational Cancer: A Proposal Based on a Prospective Health Policy Analysis

Safety and Health at Work, 2017
Background: Despite our knowledge of the causes of cancer, millions of workers are involuntarily exposed to a wide range of known and suspected carcinogens in the workplace. To address this issue from a policy perspective, we developed a policy framework

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

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 ...
