Etiological factors and mechanism involved in relationships between pesticide exposure and cancer.

Journal of environmental biology - 1 Jan 2003

Bounias M

Abstract excerpt

Professional as well as public exposure to pesticides raise cancer risk. Interaction with adjuvants and with other toxicants increases the actual risk. Endocrine disruption, procarcinogen activation by detoxification enzymes and intercellular communication impairment are involved in the carcinogenic processes. Organochlorine pesticides, including DDT, persist in human tissues for years, with correlated breast...
