title: [New perspectives in monitoring of exposures to carcinogens].
abstract: Biomonitoring occupational and environmental exposures to carcinogens is a common practice and several biomarkers have been developed for risk assessment. However, in particular, because of the lack of prospective studies, the place of these biomarkers within the complex scenario of the gene-environment interactions leading to cancer cannot be defined. New opportunities and suggestions for biomonitoring exposures to carcinogens could derive from exploring the exposome, from the results of genomewide association and omic studies. Based on these premises it is possible to envisage personalized biomonitoring procedures, as those already actuated in nutrition and clinical oncology, allowing a better predictivity of biomarkers in the preventive settings.
