Radon Exposure and Cancer Risk: Assessing Genetic and Protein Markers in Affected Populations

6 May 2025

Abstract excerpt

Radon is an inert gas produced by the radioactive decay of uranium-238, commonly found in the environment. Radon and its decay products are the main sources of human exposure to radiation from natural sources. When inhaled, radon's alpha particles impact lung tissue, potentially causing lung cancer by damaging DNA and altering oxidative processes. This review article addresses the need for a deeper understanding...
