    Area of Science:

    • Environmental health
    • Toxicology
    • Cancer research

    Background:

    • The environment plays a significant role in cancer aetiology.
    • Chemical agents are increasingly identified as oncongenic (cancer-causing).
    • Over 1000 substances have been experimentally shown to be oncongenic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the growing importance of environmental factors in cancer.
    • To emphasize the role of chemical agents in cancer aetiology.
    • To underscore the need for identifying and eliminating harmful substances.

    Main Methods:

    • Experimental studies identifying oncongenic substances.
    • Review of current knowledge on environmental carcinogens.
    • Analysis of substances carcinogenic in humans.

    Main Results:

    • More than 1000 substances have been experimentally proven to be oncongenic.
    • Approximately 30 of these substances are also considered carcinogenic in humans.
    • A significant number of chemical agents are implicated in cancer development.

    Conclusions:

    • Aetiological research is vital for identifying harmful environmental substances.
    • Eliminating identified harmful substances is a key strategy for cancer prophylaxis.
    • Understanding environmental carcinogens contributes significantly to cancer prevention.
