Abstract excerpt
In this review article, we summarize the data on tobacco smoke carcinogenicity in relation to DNA adduct dosimetry and genotyping and phenotyping of biotransformational enzymes. A major class of carcinogens, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, present in substantial quantities in tobacco smoke, is discussed. The historical background and an overview of the metabolic pathways are given. The epidemiological and...
