Abstract excerpt
For a normal cell to accumulate multiple genetic changes during multistage carcinogenesis, the induction of genomic instability is considered advantageous. Since most human cancers are associated with exposure to environmental carcinogens, it is likely that environmental carcinogens interact with genomic instability. Our results indeed suggest that carcinogens contribute to the induction of microsatellite...
