Abstract excerpt
Environmental carcinogenesis is traditionally explained by the accumulation of genetic alterations induced by exogenous carcinogens. However, most exposed cells do not undergo malignant transformation because intrinsic tumor-suppressive mechanisms limit the expansion of damaged clones. Among these mechanisms, cellular senescence represents a major barrier that restricts proliferation following DNA damage,...
