Abstract in brief

  • Parabens can promote key characteristics of breast cancer, such as cell proliferation, resistance to growth suppression, evasion of apoptosis, and increased invasiveness, by activating various biological pathways, including estrogenic activity and receptor interactions.
  • The review highlights that parabens are found in most human breast tissue samples and can interfere with hormonal regulation, potentially enabling cancer development and progression at both short-term and long-term exposure levels.
  • Due to their ability to enable multiple hallmarks of cancer, parabens raise concerns for regulatory actions to limit exposure, emphasizing the need for further research on their long-term effects at low doses.]
