Glucocorticoids (GCs) are routinely used to treat hematological malignancies; however, long-term treatment with GCs can lead to atrophic and metabolic adverse effects. Selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists (SEGRAs) with reduced side effects may act as a superior alternative to GCs. More than 30 SEGRAs have been described so far, yet none of them reached clinical trials for anti-cancer treatment.

Objectives: Many chemicals have been used for industrial purposes, and some of them are carcinogenic to humans. However, their molecular mechanisms have not been well understood. Reactive oxygen species are generated from industrial chemicals and contribute to carcinogenesis.

Background: Lately, significant attention has been drawn towards the potential efficacy of cholera toxin (CT)-an exotoxin produced by the small intestine pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholera-in modulating cancer-promoting events. In a recent study, we demonstrated that early-life oral administration of non-pathogenic doses of CT in mice suppressed chemically-induced carcinogenesis in tissues distantly located from the gut. In the mammary gland, CT pretreatment was shown to reduce tumor multiplicity, increase apoptosis and alter the expression of several cancer-related molecules.

Occupational exposure to aromatic amines is a major risk factor for urinary bladder cancer. Our previous studies showed that acetoaceto--toluidine, which is produced using -toluidine as a raw material, promotes urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats. We also found high concentrations of -toluidine, a human bladder carcinogen, in the urine of acetoaceto--toluidine-treated rats, indicating that urinary -toluidine derived from acetoaceto--toluidine may play an important role in bladder carcinogenesis.

Accumulating evidence suggests that genetic and epigenetic biomarkers hold potential for enhancing the early detection and monitoring of breast cancer (BC). Epigenetic alterations of the Homeobox A2 (HOXA2) gene have recently garnered significant attention in the clinical management of various malignancies. However, the precise role of HOXA2 in breast tumorigenesis has remained elusive.
