Liver cancer is one of the most frequent tumor entities worldwide, which is causally linked to
viral infection, fatty liver disease, life-style factors and food-borne carcinogens, particularly …

The “totality” of the human exposure is conceived to encompass life-associated endogenous
and exogenous aggregate exposures. Process-related contaminants (PRCs) are not only …

Exogenous and endogenous sources of chemical species can react, directly or after
metabolic activation, with DNA to yield DNA adducts. If not repaired, DNA adducts may …

In recent years, exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has posed an
increasing threat to human health. EDCs are major risk factors in the occurrence and …

DNA adducts are believed to play a central role in the induction of cancer in cigarette
smokers and are proposed as being potential biomarkers of cancer risk. We have …
