Urinary aflatoxin biomarkers and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Aflatoxins have long been suspected to be human hepatic carcinogens but no direct study was feasible until assays to measure individual aflatoxin exposure became available. We have used assays for urinary aflatoxin B1, its metabolites AFP1 and AFM1, and DNA-adducts (AFB1-N7-Gua) to assess the relation between aflatoxin exposure and liver cancer, as part of an ongoing prospective study of 18,244...
متن کاملA follow-up study of urinary markers of aflatoxin exposure and liver cancer risk in Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
A cohort of 18,244 mostly middle-aged (45-64 years) men residing in four small geographically defined areas of Shanghai was accrued between January 1986 and September 1989. In addition to an in-person interview regarding dietary and other past exposures, each subject donated a single void urine sample at recruitment so that the presence of aflatoxins in urine could be assessed. In addition, a 1...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cause of cancer morbidity and mortality in Asia and Africa. Epidemiological studies have found that dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and chronic infection with hepatitis B virus are two major risk factors for HCC. We have collated the incidence and mortality data of malignant tumors from 1973 to 1999 in Zhuqing Village, Fusui County, an area wit...
