Cavalieri-Rogan: Selected Publications

/ Uncategorized / By

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident”.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Cavalieri-Rogan’s studies have the potential to induce a Copernican revolution in matter of cancer prevention and diagnosis along next 20 years. 

This is the list of selected publications by Cavalieri-Rogan along many years of research on estrogens initiated cancers and dopamine as the initiator of Parkinson disease.

The research explains:

  1. How certain major human cancers (Breast, Ovary, Thyroid, Prostate and Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma)  are initiated by DNA Adducts formed by 3,4 Catechol Quinones as the by-products of estrogens’ dysmetabolisms.
  2. How Parkinson Disease may be initiated by DNA Adducts as the by-products of a Dopamine transformation that generates 3,4 Catechol Quinones in acid PH.
  3. Biochemical prevention of the initiation mechanism of estrogens initiated cancer and Parkinson through the combination of certain natural molecules (Acetylcysteine, Resveratrol, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Melatonin) and their inhibition properties in in vitro and in vivo experiments.
  4. Cancer biomarkers: how to identify and measure them. An algorithm to evaluate their significance as indicators of cancer risk.
