BPDE-induced lymphocytic 3p21.3 aberrations may predict head and neck carcinoma risk.

Cancer - 1 Aug 2002

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tobacco exposure is an established risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Benzo[alpha]pyrene diol expoxide (BPDE), a main metabolic product of the tobacco smoke constituent benzo[alpha]pyrene, induces chromosomal aberrations at specific loci. Chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) induced by BPDE may reflect individuals' genetic susceptibility to tobacco...
