Carcinogenicity and Anti-tumoral Effect of Parasites: A Review Study
In endemic areas, some parasitic infections may be related to cancer induction or induction of immune responses against cancer. In some cases, parasites cause disease in their host, and in other cases, they reach a biological balance with them. Parasite invasion of the host depends on some factors such as parasite species, life cycle, enzyme production, and host immunity. The results of various...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity of EBDCs.
In 1997 we published an article in EHP on cytogenetic and thyroid hormonal changes in 49 heavily exposed workers applying ethylene bisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicide to tomatoes, based on a collaborative study done by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Institute of Public Health in Mexico (Steenland et al. 1997). EBDCs are a common class of fungicides (e.g.,...
متن کاملThe carcinogenicity of chromium
The carcinogenicity of chromium compounds is reviewed with specific attention to the gaps in knowledge for risk estimation and research needs. The most important problems at present are whether trivalent chromium compounds cause cancer, and whether there is a difference in cancer causing effects between the soluble and the slightly soluble hexavalent compounds in the practical exposure situatio...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity of saccharin.
Saccharin is carcinogenic for the urinary bladder in rats and mice, and most likely is carcinogenic in human beings. The neoplasms of the urinary bladder are malignant and invade and metastasize. Male rats are more susceptible to urinary bladder carcinogenesis than female rats. Rats exposed as fetuses develop neoplasms more readily than rats exposed as weanlings. The lesions in the urinary blad...
متن کاملThe carcinogenicity of arsenic.
A carcinogenic role of inorganic arsenic has been suspected for nearly a century. Exposure to inorganic arsenic compounds occurs in some occupational groups, e.g., among smelter workers and workers engaged in the production and use of arsenic containing pesticides. Substantial exposure can also result from drinking water in certain areas and the use of some drugs. Tobacco and wine have had high...
