Indoor burning of fuel for heating or cooking releases carcinogens. Little is known about the impact of indoor air pollution from wood-burning stoves or fireplaces on breast cancer risk.
In a large prospective cohort study, we evaluated the risk of breast cancer in relation to indoor heating and
The wood-derived compound, beta-sitosterol (purity > 90%), was shown to be estrogenic in fish. It induced the expression of the vitellogenin gene in the liver of juvenile and methyltestosterone-treated rainbow trout. Structural similarities to beta-sitosterol notwithstanding, cholesterol,
Formicins A-C (1-3) were discovered from Streptomyces sp. associated with wood ants. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated as indenone thioesters bearing N-acetylcysteamine based on spectroscopic analysis. The configurations of 1-3 were
This study evaluated the mortality of 27,362 members of the U.S. Carpenters' Union who died in 1987-1990. Age-adjusted proportionate mortality ratios (PMRs) and proportionate cancer mortality ratios (PCMRs) were computed using the U.S. age-, gender-, and race-specific proportional mortality for the
The aim of this study is to investigate in vitro the anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of three low molecular weight subfractions I, II and III isolated from secondary metabolites produced by the wood degrading fungus Cerrena unicolor. The present study demonstrated that the low
In the original publication, the sixth author name was published incorrectly as A. Wood. The correct author name should read as W. A. Wood.
BACKGROUND
Previous studies suggest that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may adversely affect breast cancer risk. Indoor air pollution from use of indoor stoves and/or fireplaces is an important source of ambient PAH exposure. However, the association between indoor stove/fireplace use and
The great interest in early breast cancer is caused by hope in the future of treating especially early cancers, extending the indications to a local conservative treatment of the breast with a more and more efficient general treatment. The GIVIO work has proved that the major part of Italian
An evaluation is made of the hypothesis of Woods et al. (1) that the number of full-term pregnancies constitutes a factor of growth acceleration in breast cancer. Our results confirm, at least in part, the effect of parity on age at diagnosis of breast cancer. Patients with two or more children were
This article reviews mushrooms with anti-breast cancer activity. The mushrooms covered which are better known include the following: button mushroom Agaricus bisporus, Brazilian mushroom Agaricus blazei, Amauroderma rugosum, stout camphor fungus Antrodia camphorata, Jew's ear (black) fungus or black
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is the most common tumor among women, and the causes remain almost unknown apart from changes in the reproductive pattern. Based on experimental evidence, some organic solvents may have carcinogenic properties to the female breast.
METHODS
We used a comprehensive national
OBJECTIVE
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy for breast cancer are known to increase the risk of developing a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and/or acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors, fundamental to the treatment of breast cancer, are the most likely
Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare and understudied disease. There is limited evidence on association between environmental and occupational agents and MBC. Some similarities in risk factors may be shared with female breast cancer. We evaluated solvents, metals, exhaust gases and other Artelastin, a novel prenylated flavone, previously isolated from the wood bark of Artocarpus elasticus, was evaluated for its capacity to inhibit the growth of fifty-two human tumor cell lines, representing nine different tumor types. A pronounced dose-dependent growth inhibitory effect was detected
Despite recommendations to discuss the cost of care (CoC) with patients with cancer, little formal guidance is available on how to conduct these sensitive conversations in ways that are acceptable to both patients and providers.To explore the perspectives
