Cancer and Food-Related Risks: A Review
Summary
This review examines the relationship between diet, food-related environmental exposures, and cancer risk, covering evidence for carcinogenic dietary patterns, contaminants in food including persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals, and the emerging concern of microplastics as potential carcinogens. The authors emphasize that dietary risk is multi-factorial and that improving food safety standards remains a key prevention lever.
This review presents the most current scientific evidence related with the interaction between diet and cancer risk. For the purpose of ensuring the food's microbiological and chemical safety, as well as improving its palatability, numerous food processing techniques have been utilized. Innovations and advancements in food processing are being driven by the growing demand for food that are not only nutritious but also convenient and healthy. When new processes and compounds are discovered as a result of improvements in analytical capabilities, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of the potential effects on human health. In this review, the most recent scientific findings concerning the influence of the foods we eat and the risk of developing cancer are presented. Therefore, there is a pressing need for ongoing research as well as the development of comprehensive strategies to address these preventable causes of cancer and to encourage healthier lifestyle choices. This review presents an analysis of the most recent scientific data concerning the correlation between dietary habits and the likelihood of developing cancer. In addition to an increase in the consumption of refined sugars and foods that are high in carbohydrates, these patterns also demonstrates a decrease in the consumption of macronutrients and micronutrients. In addition to this, this review investigates the impact of certain dietary regimens, such as the Mediterranean diets, as well as the intake of meat and dairy items, on the likelihood of developing cancer. Epidemiological studies, molecular mechanisms, and emerging perspectives in the field of personalized nutrition were also been reviewed. It is the objective of this review to present a comprehensive analysis of relevant studies, offering the latest scientific insights regarding the correlation between diet and the likelihood of cancer development.

Complex Web of Carcinogens in the Environment: a Comprehensive Review
This broad environmental health review examines the range of carcinogens present in human environments — including industrial chemicals, air pollutants, radiation, and emerging contaminants — and synthesizes evidence on their contribution to cancer risk. While microplastics are addressed as part of the emerging chemical contaminant category, the review primarily covers the wider landscape of environmental cancer causes.
Plastic pollution-Microplastics: Cancer related issues
This review examines how microplastics may contribute to cancer risk, summarizing evidence that ingested microplastics can cross the gut epithelium, accumulate in tissues, induce oxidative stress and inflammation, and carry carcinogenic chemical additives.
The Impact of Environmental Factors on Cancer Risk: A Comprehensive Review
This paper is not about microplastics in a specific research sense; it is a broad review of how environmental factors influence cancer risk, with no substantive microplastic content evident from the available abstract.
From Exposure to Oncogenesis: the Role of Microplastics and Associated Pollutants in Cancer - a Literature Review
This literature review examined the growing evidence linking microplastic exposure to cancer development. Microplastics have been found in human lung, liver, and colon tissue, and research suggests they may promote cancer through chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and by carrying known carcinogens like heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants into the body.
Microplastic Contamination: A Rising Environmental Crisis With Potential Oncogenic Implications
This review examines how microplastics detected in human tissues — blood, placenta, and organs — may act as vectors for carcinogens, including adsorbed heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants, and discusses emerging evidence linking MP accumulation to oncogenic processes.
