Accumulating evidence from epidemiologic and laboratory studies support an inverse relationship between a regular consumption of fruits and vegetables and the risk of specific cancers. Numerous phytochemicals derived from edible plants have been reported to possess ability to interfere with a specific stage of carcinogenic process. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed to account for the anti-...

Mechanistic models for radon progeny induced lung cancer risk have been developed, based on radiation mechanisms at the cellular level. The cellular effects relevant to radiation-induced carcinogenesis are transformation, cell killing, stimulated cell division, and removal from contact inhibition. Depending upon the 115 ©Naturwissenschaftlich-Medizinischen Vereinigung in Salzburg; download unte...

Reliable quantitative risk assessment requires the use of meaningful statistical data and well validated models for their interpretation. In certain domains neither the data nor the validated models are available. Nevertheless, there may still be a requirement to generate a meaningful characterisation of risk, presented in a form which reflects the reliability and accuracy of the data available...

The fumonisins, a family of food-borne carcinogenic mycotoxins, were first isolated in 1988 (21) from cultures of Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg (previously known as Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon). During the same year, the structures of the fumonisins were elucidated (6) and fumonisin B1 was shown to cause equine leukoencephalomalacia (34). There have been numerous publications deal...
