背景情况:
- 结肠直肠癌 (CRC) 是美国癌症死亡的主要原因.
- 环境毒素对CRC发病率的影响尚不清楚.
- 之前对和等致癌物质的研究主要集中在职业暴露,而不是一般的环境水平.
研究的目的:
- 调查个人环境中的和暴露与结直肠癌 (CRC) 发病率之间的关联.
- 在病例控制研究中使用生物标本来测量金属暴露.
主要方法:
- 进行了一项试点病例控制研究.

Cancer Prevention
6.0K
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.

Types of Toxins

Humans continually engage with an environment rich in potentially harmful chemicals. These are introduced to our bodies through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. These chemicals exist in various forms, such as air and environmental pollutants, agricultural chemicals, organic solvents, and heavy metals.
Air pollutants, primarily gases, pose significant threats to respiratory health, leading to conditions like hypoxia, lung cancer, and in extreme cases, death.
