Insulin resistance and cancer: epidemiological evidence.
Epidemiological research into insulin resistance has focused on excess body weight, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), physical activity, and coffee consumption. These common modifiable factors have also been suggested to play a role in the process of carcinogenesis via associations with insulin resistance. Findings of systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses have generally supported an asso...
متن کاملCOMMENTARY Tobacco and Cancer: Recent Epidemiological Evidence
During the 1950s, the evidence was clearly sufficient to establish the carcinogenicity of tobacco smoking (1). By the end of the 1950s, convincing evidence linking smoking with lung cancer and other cancers had been obtained from case–control and cohort studies, carcinogens had been identified in tobacco smoke, and cigarette smoke condensate had been shown to cause tumors when painted on the sk...
متن کاملNutrition and cancer: the current epidemiological evidence.
We have examined the current scientific evidence on the relationship between nutrition and the most frequent tumours in the Spanish population: lung, colorectal, prostate, breast and stomach. Consumption of fruit is negatively associated with cancer of the lung and stomach, possibly with colorectal cancer, but probably not with prostate cancer and breast cancer. Consumption of vegetables probab...
متن کاملImmunosurveillance against cancer-associated hyperploidy
At odds with long-standing convictions, it is now clear that tumors are not immunologically silent entities. We have recently demonstrated that the immune system can selectively detect and eliminate hyperploid (pre-) malignant cells, thus delineating a novel mechanism of immunosurveillance against tumorigenesis. Malignant cells of different histological origin share a set of common features, in...
متن کاملThe immunobiology of cancer immunosurveillance and immunoediting.
The last fifteen years have seen a reemergence of interest in cancer immunosurveillance and a broadening of this concept into one termed cancer immunoediting. The latter, supported by strong experimental data derived from murine tumor models and provocative correlative data obtained by studying human cancer, holds that the immune system not only protects the host against development of primary ...
