TLDR
An independent approach based solely on cancer genome sequencing and epidemiological data suggested that R mutations are responsible for two-thirds of the mutations in human cancers, and results are consistent with epidemiological estimates of the fraction of cancers that can be prevented by changes in the environment.

Probabilistic Risk Assessment – The Keystone for the Future of Toxicology

TL;DR: An overview of methods for probabilistic risk assessment and their application for exposure assessment, physiologically-based kinetic modelling, probability of hazard assessment (based on quantitative and read-across based structure-activity relationships, and mechanistic alerts from in vitro studies), individual susceptibility assessment, and evidence integration can be found in this article .

Spatiotemporal dynamics of clonal selection and diversification in normal endometrial epithelium

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that clonal expansions through the rhizome structures are involved in the mechanism by which mutant clones extend their territories in the normal endometrium.

Global cancer statistics

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.

Cancer Genome Landscapes

TL;DR: This work has revealed the genomic landscapes of common forms of human cancer, which consists of a small number of “mountains” (genes altered in a high percentage of tumors) and a much larger number of "hills" (Genes altered infrequently).

The cancer genome

TL;DR: This work has shown that the complete DNA sequence of large numbers of cancer genomes will be possible to obtain and will provide a detailed and comprehensive perspective on how individual cancers have developed.

Current Cigarette Smoking Among Adults - United States, 2016.

TL;DR: To assess progress toward the Healthy People 2020 target of reducing the proportion of U.S. adults aged ≥18 years who smoke cigarettes to ≤12.0% (objective TU-1.1), the CDC analyzed data from the 2016 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and found that the prevalence of current cigarette smoking among adults was 15.5%, which was a significant decline from 2005 but no significant change has occurred since 2015.
