Narrative mini-review reveals how endocrine-disrupting chemicals impact cancer processes, indicating vital research directions.

Key Points

This review aims to synthesize current evidence on the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on cancer progression.
Reviewed literature on various EDCs including bisphenols, PFAS, heavy metals, and others.
Examined effects of EDCs on carcinogenesis, immune modulation, and metabolic changes.
Emphasized the importance of understanding exposure routes and mixture effects.
EDCs disrupt endocrine signaling, promoting oncogenesis through immune and metabolic alterations.
Highlighting the need for improved risk assessments due to EDC exposure complexity.
Call for multi-omic validation and integration of developmental windows in future studies.
