Molecular epidemiology and prevention of cancer.
Preventable environmental causes of cancer, including tobacco smoke and other carcinogens in the diet, workplace, and ambient environment are responsible for the vast majority of human cancers. This paper reviews recent molecular epidemiologic studies that have focused on environmental carcinogenesis and environment-host interactions. Biomarkers such as carcinogen-DNA and carcinogen-protein add...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology, pathogenesis and prevention of gastric cancer.
Cancer of the stomach is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies and remains an important cause of mortality world wide. This type of cancer is not uniformly distributed among populations but shows a marked variation in both incidence and mortality. Although gastric cancer is declining in many parts of the world, the reasons for this decline are not well understood and its etiology rema...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology, prenatal exposure and prevention of cancer
Molecular Epidemiology was originally conceived as a preventive approach, providing a valuable tool for investigating risk factors for cancer in vulnerable populations. Biomarkers can be used as early indicators of risk for preventative purposes and risk assessment. The present contribution mainly refers to in utero exposures to carcinogens, since humans are especially vulnerable during fetal d...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology: insights into cancer susceptibility, risk assessment, and prevention.
Recent molecular epidemiologic research provides compelling new evidence that environmental factors are major contributors to human cancer and that their risks are strongly influenced by genetic and acquired susceptibility. In particular, molecular epidemiology has demonstrated substantial variability in biologic response to carcinogens and suggests that certain groups-such as the very young, t...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology and the Prevention of Disease
Recent advances in molecular biology and genetics offer new tools for understanding patterns of health and disease in human populations. The field of epidemiology has made major contributions to the identification of preventable causes of human disease, but understanding the relationships between risk factors and outcomes has been limited by lack of knowledge of the events that take place betwe...
