The etiopathogenesis of breast cancer depends on genetic conditions, but recently more attention has been paid to the dependence of BC on certain environmental factors, for example, metalloestrogens, which include aluminum (Al) contained in antiperspirants used daily.

Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), and the most common cause of neurological disability in young adults. Thanks to years of intensive research, the disease can now be largely controlled by disease-modifying treatment (DMT), of which the mode of action is mostly immunomodulatory and/or immunosuppressive. For years, balancing the benefits and risks of DMT by escalating only after a suboptimal response has been the recommended course of action.
