Insights from Epidemiology into Dichloromethane and Cancer Risk
Dichloromethane (methylene chloride) is a widely used chlorinated solvent. We review the available epidemiology studies (five cohort studies, 13 case-control studies, including seven of hematopoietic cancers), focusing on specific cancer sites. There was little indication of an increased risk of lung cancer in the cohort studies (standardized mortality ratios ranging from 0.46 to 1.21). These c...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology: insights into cancer susceptibility, risk assessment, and prevention.
Recent molecular epidemiologic research provides compelling new evidence that environmental factors are major contributors to human cancer and that their risks are strongly influenced by genetic and acquired susceptibility. In particular, molecular epidemiology has demonstrated substantial variability in biologic response to carcinogens and suggests that certain groups-such as the very young, t...
متن کاملInsights from Price's equation into evolutionary epidemiology
The basic reproduction number, denoted by R0, is one of the most important quantities in epidemiological theory ([11], [23]). It is defined as the expected number of new infections generated by an infected individual in an otherwise wholly susceptible population ([2], [12], [23]). Part of the reason why R0 plays such a central role in this body of theory undoubtedly stems from its relatively si...
متن کاملGenetic insights into breast cancer risk
Since the identification of BRCA1 and BRCA2 much has been learned about the role of mutations in these genes and how they relate to disease risk. The primary population that has been screened for mutations in these genes has been women who have a family history of early onset breast and or ovarian cancer. The tumour characteristics of women who harbour a BRCA1 mutation are similar to those iden...
