Oxidative stress and Cancer: a bigger problem in a polluted world?

by Ciara Danielle Baines

Venue: J. Liivi 2 (Oecologicum), Room 126 and Web (MS Teams)

Oxidative stress is a well known mechanism that can lead to cancer in both humans and animals. I will discuss what we know about these mechanisms that lead to oxidative stress and increase cancer risk focusing on the review published in Cancer Cell https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccell.2020.06.001. Whilst this link between oxidative stress and cancer in aquatic animals has not been strongly focused on within the literature, I will discuss examples of the different types of pollution that increase oxidative stress, and therefore potentially increasing cancer risk, in wild fish populations. 

Ciara is a PhD Student at the Chair of Animal Ecology, Department of Zoology, University of Tartu
