- * The study focused on the relationship between long-term dietary mycotoxin exposure and hepatobiliary cancers in the EPIC cohort, using detailed food occurrence data to assess risks.
- * Findings indicated a significant link between higher intake of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) and hepatocellular carcinoma risk, suggesting further research is needed on mycotoxins and their potential health impacts.
The etiology of prostate cancer is not fully elucidated. Among environmental risk factors, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) deserve special mention, as they alter metabolic pathways involved in hormone-dependent cancers. Epidemiological evidence assessing the carcinogenicity of EDCs is scarce.

While metals and metalloids (MMs) include some carcinogens, their association with breast cancer depends on the element studied. Most studies focus on individual MMs, but the combined effects of metal mixtures remain unclear.

- Adequate maternal thyroid function is crucial for a healthy pregnancy, yet previous studies on thyroid dysfunction and pregnancy-related hypertension show inconsistent and varied results.
- In this systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers analyzed data from multiple cohort studies to investigate the link between thyroid function abnormalities and risks of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia.
- The study included a large sample of 46,528 pregnant women, focusing on thyroid-stimulating hormone, free thyroxine levels, and thyroid antibodies, while excluding certain groups to ensure the accuracy of the findings.
