Main themes
Oncogenic effects of toxic factors, nutriments and living organisms will be developed, with focus on some frequent or well understood examples of neoplastic transformation.
Toxic factors and drugs : oncogenic effects of tobacco, alcohol, asbest fibres, aristolochic acid, endocrine agents and some chemical products will be presented among others.
Food link to cancer : the course will envisage cancer induced by some nutriments, cooking or storing methods, relationship between food culture and types of cancer, and the possible role of gut microbiota on cancer.
