The development of cancer is influenced by genetic predispositions and environmental exposures over a lifetime. This framework encompasses all non-genetic factors, including chemical pollutants, dietary habits, radiation, and lifestyle behaviors, that may contribute to carcinogenesis. Recent advances in exposome research have shed light on how these environmental influences interact with biological systems to initiate and promote cancer. Understanding the exposome's role in cancer enhances knowledge of environmental carcinogenesis while paving the way for targeted public health interventions and personalized prevention efforts tailored to individual profiles. Environmental Factors in Carcinogenesis: Exposome-Driven Insights Into Cancer Risk and Prevention explores how environmental exposures contribute to cancer development by interacting with biological processes over time. It explains emerging research tools and data that help identify environmental risk factors, enabling more precise cancer prevention and public health strategies. This book covers topics such as oncology, risk factors, and precision medicine, and is a useful resource for medical professionals, oncologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
