Association of urinary arsenic, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals with cancers among the female population in the US

CONCLUSION: This study determined breast cancer and arsenic and some metal species exposure, indicating an inverse association. Arsenic acid and arsenobetaine exposure showed a positive correlation with cervical cancer. For uterine cancer, the correlations for the PAH compounds and cobalt showed a positive correlation, and the arsenic species and mercury were inversely associated. Further research is required to establish or refute the findings.PMID:37931756 | DOI:10.1016/j.taap.2023.116746
