Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes

8.9K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Cancer Prevention

6.5K
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.

Compensation Mechanisms01:28

Compensation Mechanisms

2.0K
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

857
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Epidemiology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Current legal criteria for occupational cancer in Korea were outdated.
  • Need for updated scientific evidence to define occupational cancer.
  • Previous criteria did not fully reflect global understanding of carcinogen exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and amend the legal criteria for occupational cancer in Korea.
  • To incorporate recent scientific evidence on causative agents and target cancers.
  • To enhance the accuracy and comprehensiveness of occupational cancer guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of scientific evidence on global occupational cancer causes.
  • Review of legal lists of occupational cancers.
  • Examination of compensated occupational cancer cases in Korea (2000-2012).
  • Identification of factors linking specific causes and cancers.

Main Results:

  • Occupational cancer compensation awarded to 519 out of 2,468 cases (lung, mesothelioma, lymphohematopoietic, liver cancers).
  • Benzene accounted for 84.4% of cases (1996-2005); asbestos for 62.3% (1999-2005).
  • Identified 14 new causative agents and 12 additional target cancers.

Conclusions:

  • Amended criteria now include 23 causative agents and 21 target cancers.
  • Represents the most significant change to Korean occupational cancer criteria historically.
  • Expected to improve understanding and provide an accurate reference for occupational cancer.
