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

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

Epigenetic mechanisms in metal carcinogenesis
Many metals exhibit genotoxic and/or carcinogenic effects. These toxic metals can be found ubiquitously – in drinking water, food, air, general use products, in everyday and occupational settings.

Tobacco-induced carcinogenesis and chemoprevention by some natural products
Tobacco habit is one of the main etiological factors responsible for cancer in body's multiple organs due to the presence of numerous carcinogens. In different animal models, it was evident that the carcinogens could induce carcinogenesis in multiple ...

Stochastic biophysical modeling of irradiated cells [PDF]
The paper presents a computational stochastic model of virtual cells irradiation, based on Quasi-Markov Chain Monte Carlo method and using biophysical input. The model is based on a stochastic tree of probabilities for each cell of the entire colony.

Charge Transfer-oxy Radical Mechanism for Anti-cancer Agents [PDF]
The proposal is advanced that anti-cancer drugs generally function by charge transfer resulting in formation of toxic oxy radicals which destroy the neoplasm.
