In female elephants, the two compounds 3-ethyl phenol and 2-ethyl 4,5 dimethylphenol have been detected in urine samples. [70] Temporal glands secretion examination showed the presence of phenol, m-cresol and p-cresol (4-methyl phenol) during musth in male elephants. [71] [72] [73] p-Cresol and o-cresol are also components of the human sweat.
Scientist Otto Warburg, whose research activities led to the formulation of the Warburg hypothesis for explaining the root cause of cancer.. The Warburg hypothesis (/ ˈ v ɑːr b ʊər ɡ /), sometimes known as the Warburg theory of cancer, postulates that the driver of carcinogenesis (cancer formation) is insufficient cellular respiration caused by insult (damage) to mitochondria.

Ionizing radiation may be used to treat other cancers, but this may, in some cases, induce a second form of cancer. [74] Radiation can cause cancer in most parts of the body, in all animals, and at any age, although radiation-induced solid tumors usually take 10–15 years, and can take up to 40 years, to become clinically manifest, and ...
The best-selling drug in the U.S., Acetaminophen, also known as Paracetamol, is a phenol. There are various classification schemes. [15]: 2 A commonly used scheme is based on the number of carbons and was devised by Jeffrey Harborne and Simmonds in 1964 and published in 1980: [15]: 2 [16]
The World Health Organization has identified glyphosate as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" and a study published earlier this year showed that glyphosate raised the cancer risk of those exposed ...
A newly identified colon cancer gene may drive the disease by making the environment in the vicinity of tumors more hospitable to them, researchers say. Why does colon cancer grow so fast? Study ...
Phenol and its vapors are corrosive to the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory tract. [60] Its corrosive effect on skin and mucous membranes is due to a protein-degenerating effect. [49] Repeated or prolonged skin contact with phenol may cause dermatitis, or even second and third-degree burns. [61] Inhalation of phenol vapor may cause lung ...
Whether inflammation is present in the body before or after a cancer diagnosis, it affects all life stages of cancer—part of what Ravella calls the “tumor microenvironment” — “from the ...
