Prior to writing your Discussion response this week, choose a particular angle of carcinogenesis to focus on, such as chemical-induced mutagenesis, genes, signaling pathways, etc. Consider the implications and application to public health. Post by Day 4a response to the following: Choose a type of cancer and provide a concise description of what is known about how this carcinogenesis occurs, using molecular and biological terminology as appropriate. Include the role of genes and environment in your discussion as they relate to the type of cancer you chose. Discuss at least one example of recent, published research that is being done to understand this carcinogenesis, and explain how the findings can be applied in public health. Support your discussion by citing at least one primary research article.
