Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced damage to DNA plays a major role in carcinogenesis. In order to estimate the level of oxidative damage and its role in breast cancer, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was determined in DNA isolated from human breast tissue. Furthermore, we investigated whether polymorphisms in genes for enzymes involved in generation and elimination of ROS had any association with the...
