Though many propositions have come regarding the possible causes, most diagnosed cases still remain without known causes. The extremely diverse nature of cancer additionally makes it difficult to identify their causes. A general theme with all types of cancerous […]

Abstract: Background Tobacco smoking is a major established risk factor for pancreatic cancer (PC), increasing the incidence up to six fold depending on the duration and intensity of smoking. Nicotine is a key toxin in tobacco and cigarette, which may contribute to development of pancreatitis and PC. Our previous studies revealed an aberrant expression of […]
Abstract Everybody is at risk for cancer yet environmental factors, life style and diet as well as genetic factors influence the individual cancer risk. Targeted or personalized cancer prevention is based on the knowledge of the molecular characteristics of the tumor to be prevented, the molecular mechanisms of action of the compounds to be used […]
