Repair of Tobacco Carcinogen-Induced DNA Adducts and Lung Cancer Risk: a Molecular Epidemiologic Study
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Only a fraction of cigarette smokers develop lung cancer, suggesting that people differ in their susceptibility to this disease. We investigated whether differences in DNA repair capacity (DRC) for repairing tobacco carcinogen-induced DNA damage are associated with differential susceptibility to lung cancer. METHODS: From August 1, 1995, through April 30, 1999, we conducted a hospital-based,...
