Abstract
The risk for the development of cancer in human spaceflight is still not completely understood. While many researchers focus on immediate effects of different types of space radiation on cellular damage, little is known on the effects of longterm weightlessness on cellular mechanisms that might alter the susceptibility for cancer development from a variety of reasons.
