Abstract excerpt
Due to major developments in genetics over the past decade, molecular biology tests are serving promising tools in early diagnosis and follow-up of cancer patients. Recent epidemiological studies revealed that the risk for each individual to develop cancer is closely linked to his/her own genetic potentialities. Some populations that are defective in DNA repair processes, for example in Xeroderma pigmentosum or...
