Abstract excerpt
Individual susceptibility to smoking-related cancers is proposed to partly depend on a genetically determined ability to metabolise tobacco carcinogens. We previously reported on the association between the activity of the xenobiotic-metabolising enzyme CYP2D6 and lung cancer risk in a hospital-based case-control study among French Caucasian smokers. Here we extended the study to address the effect of four...
