Cigarette Smoke and Cancer
Highlights
The risk of cancer is not limited to smokers and affects individuals who are indirectly exposed to tobaccoderived carcinogens
This study finds an alarming 40-fold risk of developing oral cancer in individuals who have all the above habits than controls
Using meta-analysis, an interesting review article by Liu et al draws a link between paternal smoking and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Summary
The risk of cancer is not limited to smokers and affects individuals who are indirectly exposed to tobaccoderived carcinogens. Recent efforts to decipher mechanisms by which tobacco-derived carcinogens induce various cancers have provided profound insights about signaling pathways that are perturbed by these compounds, leading to oncogenic signaling. This special issue collates reviews and research articles that provide insights about tobacco-induced cancers at molecular, clinical, and epidemiological level.
