Heavy metals and cancer: Uncovering the toxicity of heavy metals and their carcinogenic mechanisms
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)
