Etiology of Cancer: Understanding the Causes
- 1. ETIOLOGY OF CANCER Dr. Abhilash G JR-1 Radiotherapy SRMSIMS
- 2. WHAT IS CANCER? Cancer, known medically as a malignant neoplasm, is a broad group of various diseases, all involving unregulated cell growth. In cancer, cells divide and grow uncontrollably forming malignant tumors and invade nearby parts of the body. The cancer may also spread to more distant parts through lymph or blood.

- 14. Some genetic mutations confer such pro- tumorigenic power that individuals who harbour them are at extreme risk for cancer development. A large number of proteins that regulate genomic integrity (caretakers) and critical tumour suppressors are mutated in cancer susceptibility syndromes.
- 15. Hereditary tumorigenesis - One mutant allele is inherited from either parent Sporadic tumorigenesis - One allele is mutated somatically, in which case there is one predisposed cell.

- 31. Ionizing radiation Ultraviolet Radiation RF & Microwave Radiation Electromagnetic Fields Asbestos Nanoparticles
- 33. It has been estimated that 1 Gy of ionizing radiation gives rise to about 40 DSBs, 1,000 SSBs, 1,000 base lesions, and 150 DNA-protein cross-links per cell.
- 35. RFR and MR do not have sufficient energies to cause ionizations in target tissues. Sources - mobile phones, radars, medical devices, and kitchen appliances. Mobile phones emit radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and generate EMFs. At these intensities, induction of DNA damage has been detected only in laboratory studies.
- 38. DIET Mutagens in foods, due to heating of proteins, can cause damage to DNA. Alcohol - Best established dietary risk factor Fat – Cancers of breast, colon, prostate, and endometrium. Red meat - Increased risk of colorectal cancer.
- 39. Direct damage in the upper GI tract. Modulation of DNA methylation. Acetaldehyde - Enhances proliferation of epithelial cells, forms DNA adducts, and is a recognized carcinogen.
- 40. CONTD.. Regular consumption - Increased risk of colorectal cancer. The association is strongest for processed meat. Anabolic hormones used in meat production. Heterocyclic amines and PAH formed during cooking. High amounts of heme iron, and nitrates and related compounds convert to carcinogenic nitrosamines in the colon.
- 41. CONTD.. Fruits and vegetables have been hypothesized in cancer prevention. Contain antioxidants, minerals, fiber, potassium, carotenoids, vitamin C, folate, and other vitamins. Supply less than 5% of total energy intake but concentration of micronutrients in these foods is greater than in most others.
- 42. CONTD.. Fiber is fermented by the luminal bacteria of the colon. Bulking effect ; Reduces colonic transit time, and the binding of potentially carcinogenic luminal chemicals. May also aid in producing short-chain fatty acids that may be directly anticarcinogenic, and fiber may induce apoptosis.
- 43. H. OBESITY & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
- 44. Overweight Endogenous Risk of Endometrial & Obesity estrogen levels & Breast Cancer Established risk factor for colon cancer in both men and women. Increased physical activity - Protective for colon cancer. Impact on insulin sensitivity and IGF profiles, and inflammation, as well as some colon-specific mechanisms Physical activity stimulates stool transit in the colon, decreasing the exposure of colonic mucosa to carcinogens in
- 46. CONTD.. Obese & Gastro esophageal Gastric High BMI Reflux symptoms Adenocarcinoma Obesity, in addition to high blood pressure and diabetes, is an established risk factor for kidney cancer. High BMI and Obesity have also been implicated in various studies of Gall Bladder Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Prostate Cancer and NHL..
- 47. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Most common causes of cancer are Tobacco(25- 30%), Diet and Physical Activity related Factors (30-35%). 60-65% cancers can be prevented just by Lifestyle modification. Vaccines which can prevent malignancies should be emphasized and counseled to parents. Genetically related malignancies like Breast and Colon Cancer should have screening and Genetic Counseling.

- Panel A - represents the rare occurrence of a highly penetrant inherited gene mutation, such as in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, which confers a 100% likelihood of cancer of the colon, regardless of environment Panel B - represents the vast majority of cancers, in which carcinogenesis is driven by gene/environment interaction, is represented. Panel C - represents the rare occurrence of an overwhelmingly carcinogenic exposure, such a radiation accidents, will lead to cancer in exposed individuals regardless of genetic background.
- The three most common childhood cancers are leukemia (34%), brain tumors (23%), and lymphomas (12%)
- DNA adducts – Covalent bonds between carcinogens and DNA; cause miscoding and permanent mutation in critical genes

- There is, however, no evidence to suggest that HIV is directly oncogenic. In HIV-infected persons, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Burkitt, immunoblastic, and primary CNS), Kaposi sarcoma, and cervical cancer are all AIDS-defining illnesses. In addition, anal squamous cell carcinoma is commonly seen in AIDS patients. Many of the neoplasms common to AIDS patients are associated with infection by DNA viruses. These viruses include Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus/human herpes virus-8, Epstein-Barr virus, and human papilloma virus.
- On August 6, 1945 the uranium bomb, “Little Boy”, was dropped on Hiroshima killing 70,000-80,000 people immediately. Three days later, the plutonium bomb, “Fat Man”, was dropped on Nagasaki killing an estimated 40,000-75,000 instantly. Catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.. An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive particles into the atmosphere, which spread over much of the western USSR and Europe.
- Specific Activity Rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field.
