Cancer et environnement : expertise collective
2008
Les cancers représentent en France la première cause de mortalité chez les hommes et la deuxième cause chez les femmes et figurent parmi les pathologies pouvant être liées à l’environnement. À la demande de l’Afsset, l’Inserm a réuni un groupe d’experts afin d’établir un bilan des connaissances sur les liens entre l’exposition à des facteurs physiques, chimiques ou biologiques présents dans l’atmosphère, l’eau, les sols ou l’alimentation et neuf types de cancers en augmentation au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années : les cancers du poumon, les mésothéliomes, les hémopathies malignes, les tumeurs cérébrales, les cancers du sein, de l’ovaire, du testicule, de la prostate etde la thyroïde. …
The bacterial cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) triggers a G2 cell cycle checkpoint in mammalian cells without preliminary induction of DNA strand br…
1999
The bacterial cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) was previously shown to arrest the tumor-derived HeLa cell line in the G2-phase of the cell cycle through inactivation of CDK1, a cyclin-dependent kinase whose state of activation determines entry into mitosis. We have analysed the effects induced in HeLa cells by CDT, in comparison to those induced by etoposide, a prototype anti-tumoral agent that triggers a G2 cell cycle checkpoint by inducing DNA damage. Both CDT and etoposide inhibit cell proliferation and induces the formation of enlarged mononucleated cells blocked in G2. In both cases, CDK1 from arrested cells could be re-activated both in vitro by dephosphorylation by recombinant Cdc25…
The Intracranial Distribution of Gliomas in Relation to Exposure From Mobile Phones: Analyses From the INTERPHONE Study
2016
When investigating the association between brain tumors and use of mobile telephones, accurate data on tumor position are essential, due to the highly localized absorption of energy in the human brain from the radio-frequency fields emitted. We used a point process model to investigate this association using information that included tumor localization data from the INTERPHONE Study (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom). Our main analysis included 792 regular mobile phone users diagnosed with a glioma between 2000 and 2004. Similar to earlier results, we found a statistically significant association …
Épidémiologie des tumeurs neuroendocrines intestinales
2017
International audience; Few data are available about the epidemiology of digestive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Malignant digestive (MD) NETs remain as a rare cancer representing 1 % of digestive cancers. In France, the incidence rates of MD-NETs are estimated to around 1.1/100,000 inhabitants in males and 0.9/100,000 in females which then increased over time, with probably more than 1,000 new cases per year. Due to the relative good prognosis, NETs are the second more prevalent digestive cancer next to colorectal cancer. Most gastroenteropancreatic NETs are well-differentiated (WD-NETs); poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PDNEC) account for less than 20% of the cases in mos…
Breast cancer screening : socioeconomic factors influencing the participation and screening round adequacy
2013
Mammography screening allowed breast tumors detection in early stage while treatments are less aggressive. Despite the fact that organized mammography screening has been free of charge for the target population since 2004 in France, the participation rate to the programme remains low.The aim of the studies was to investigate individual and area-level socioeconomic factors explaining low breast cancer screening attendance, individual factors influencing mammography screening round adequacy and to assess the evidence of screening round adequacy in the discovery of breast tumors.The results showed that women living in most deprived areas or rural areas, those covered by self-employed insurance…
