Abstract Cell death is a process of dying within biological cells that are ceasing to function. This process is essential in regulating
organism development, tissue homeostasis, and to eliminate cells in the body that are irreparably damaged. In general,
dysfunction in normal cellular death is tightly linked to cancer progression. Specifically, the up-regulation of prosurvival
factors, including oncogenic factors and antiapoptotic signaling pathways, and the down-regulation of proapoptotic
factors, including tumor suppressive factors, confers resistance to cell death in tumor cells, which supports
the emergence of a fully immortalized cellular phenotype. This review considers the potential relevance of ubiquitous
environmental chemical exposures that have been shown to disrupt key pathways and mechanisms associated with this
sort of dysfunction. Specifically, bisphenol A, chlorothalonil, dibutyl phthalate, dichlorvos, lindane, linuron, methoxychlor
and oxyfluorfen are discussed as prototypical chemical disruptors; as their effects relate to resistance to cell death, as
constituents within environmental mixtures and as potential contributors to environmental carcinogenesis.
