Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancers risk appears to evolve over time as a possible result of changes in dietary, environmental and lifestyle factors, including bacterial infection, diet, drug abuse, radiations and stress; however, the etiology of cancer is complex; bacterial variability, host genetics and environmental factors are the strongest risk factors for the development of carcinoma. This relationship suggests that a need exists to investigate the mechanism as to how these factors combined with host factors might contribute to initiate cancer development.
Therefore, through this Special Issue, “Lifestyle, Environment and Respiratory Cancer Risk”, we aim to highlight the relationship between lifestyle and environmental risk factors and cancer.
We encourage contributions that are focused on, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Lifestyle factors (nutrition, tobacco use, physical activity);
- Natural occurring exposures (ultraviolet light, gas, infectious agents);
- Medical treatments (radiation and medicine);
- Workplace and household exposures;
- Pollution;
- Respiratory cancer risk factors.
