The Relationship between Heavy Metals and Cancer: Understanding the Risks In recent years, the relationship between environmental factors and cancer has attracted widespread attention, with heavy metals becoming an important focus. Heavy metals, including lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, are elements found in nature and are becoming increasingly common in our environment due to industrial activity, pollution and modern lifestyles. Although these metals are typically found in trace amounts in the environment, long-term exposure to higher concentrations of heavy metals can have serious health effects, including an increased risk of cancer.

Heavy metals are toxic elements that can pose serious risks to human health, including an increased risk of cancer. Understanding the toxic and carcinogenic mechanisms of heavy metal exposure is key to understanding the link between heavy metals and cancer development. In this article, we will explore the relationship between heavy metals and cancer, with a particular focus on toxic and carcinogenic mechanisms. Our information comes from the article “An Overview of Carcinogenic Heavy Metal: Molecular Toxicity Mechanism and Prevention” published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
