Carcinogen: Radiation, Major carcinogens implicated in the four most common cancers worldwide & Common carcinogens associated with food

A carcinogen (/kɑːrˈsɪnədʒən/) is any agent that promotes the development of cancer. Carcinogens can include synthetic chemicals, naturally occurring substances, physical agents such as ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and biologic agents such as viruses and bacteria. Most carcinogens act by creating mutations in DNA that disrupt a cell's normal…
