Description

Sourav Pal and Sayed Mohammed Firdous give a critical review of heavy metal xenobiotics in cancer in a 2024 paper. Cancer grows from a slow pile-up of genetic and surface-level changes in cells. What a person meets in the world around them, metals among it, feeds into that pile-up.

The review walks the key molecular targets that metals and like compounds disturb. Receptors that steer fat use and inflammation, a guardian protein that shields cells from oxidative harm, and enzymes that process foreign compounds all get a close read. Each target's role in tumor growth and spread is laid out, toward a fuller map of how exposure turns into disease.
