Is DNA methylation the new guardian of the genome?
Background It has been known for more than 100 years that aneuploidy is an essence of cancer. The question is what keeps the genome stable, thereby preventing aneuploidy. For the past 25 years, it has been proposed that p53 is the “guardian of the genome.

Genetic polymorphisms and metabolism of endocrine disruptors in cancer susceptibility
Epidemiological studies have estimated that approximately 80% of all cancers are related to environmental factors. Individual cancer susceptibility can be the result of several host factors, including differences in metabolism, DNA repair, altered ...

Genomic alterations and precise medicine of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
. Human cancer is a complex disease caused by the interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors. It is known that environmental factors such as smoking, drinking, and food carcinogens are implicated in the development of certain types of cancer

Association Study of Polymorphism in CYP3A5 Gene with Bladder Cancer
Aims and objectives: The environmental procarcinogen hypothesis of tumour pathogenesis proposes that many carcinogens require metabolic activation by drug metabolizing enzymes to form the proximate carcinogen.

Progress on internal exposure to typical environmental persistent organic pollutants and cancer
Environmental pollution is closely linked to the occurrence and development of cancer. Chemical carcinogens are the most important environmental factors causing cancer in humans. Among them, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are characterized by their

Pollution of living environment
Background: Information on cancer causation has come from investigation of the patterns of cancer in human populations and the induction of tumours in experimental animals following treatment with cancer-causing agents.
