Abstract excerpt
The highly polymorphic N-acetyltransferases (NAT1 and NAT2) are involved in both activation and inactivation reactions of numerous carcinogens, such as tobacco derived aromatic amines. The potential effect of the NAT genotypes in individual susceptibility to lung cancer was examined in a hospital based case-control study consisting of 392 Caucasian lung cancer patients [152 adenocarcinomas, 173 squamous cell...
