mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A literature matrix of occupational cancer studies was created to help identify cancer origins. This tool aids physicians in recognizing workplace-related cancer risks, especially for less recognized cancer types.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational epidemiology
  • Environmental health
  • Cancer research

Context:

  • Limited recognition of occupational cancers in Italy.
  • Lower etiological fractions for cancers like lung and bladder reduce recognition rates.
  • Uncertainty regarding occupational carcinogens and lack of occupational history contribute to underreporting.

Purpose:

  • To interpret findings and generate new hypotheses on occupational cancer.
  • To conduct an extensive bibliographical search of scientific literature on occupational cancer.
  • To support the Occupational Cancer Monitoring Survey Project (OCCAM).

Summary:

  • An online "literature matrix" (www.occam.it) was developed, compiling data from 685 epidemiological studies on occupational cancer.
  • The matrix includes 1870 citations detailing increased cancer risks by type and industry.
  • It cross-references production cycles/industries with cancer types/sites.

Impact:

  • Provides a valuable tool for interpreting occupational cancer survey data.
  • Serves as a rapid and accessible resource for occupational physicians, general practitioners, and specialists.
  • Aids in investigating and confirming the occupational origin of cancer cases.
