Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

The study discusses the role of nonhormonal drugs in human cancer, focusing on drug-induced cancer. Antineoplastics and radiopharmaceuticals are the primary culprits. Other drugs under suspicion include clofibrate and cimetidine. Some drugs, like amitriptyline and fluoxetine, may promote tumor growth. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may offer protection against colorectal cancer.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Nonhormonal drugs probably account for only a small proportion of human cancer but have contributed many valuable insights into carcinogenic mechanisms. The antineoplastics, radiopharmaceuticals, and a few other agents account for most of the known drug-induced cancer. A number of other agents are u...See full text at original site

Nonhormonal Drugs: A Hidden Threat to Cancer Risk

This review explores the potential carcinogenic effects of nonhormonal drugs, a less-explored territory in cancer research. The authors highlight the known carcinogenic effects of certain drugs, such as antineoplastics and radiopharmaceuticals, but also discuss the potential risks associated with other widely used medications, including clofibrate, cimetidine, and certain antidepressants and antihistamines. This review underscores the importance of ongoing surveillance and research to assess the long-term cancer risks associated with drug use.

Nonhormonal Drugs: A Complex Landscape of Cancer Risk

This review delves into the intricate relationship between nonhormonal drugs and cancer risk, exploring a vast and often overlooked area of research. The authors highlight the potential for both carcinogenic and protective effects of certain drugs, emphasizing the importance of careful consideration of drug use in the context of cancer prevention and treatment. This research underscores the need for continued vigilance and ongoing research to fully understand the potential long-term effects of drug use on cancer risk.

Navigating the Sands of Drug-Induced Cancer: A Balancing Act

Drugs are essential for treating a wide range of conditions, but it is crucial to be aware of their potential long-term effects. This review explores the complex relationship between nonhormonal drugs and cancer risk, highlighting the importance of ongoing surveillance and research to assess the potential carcinogenic risks associated with drug use. This research underscores the need for a balanced approach to drug therapy, carefully weighing the benefits against the potential risks, particularly in the context of cancer prevention.
