Smoking, DNA repair capacity and risk of nonsmall cell lung cancer
13 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Tobacco-related carcinogens cause a variety of DNA damage that is repaired by different enzymatic pathways, suggesting that DNA repair plays an important role in tobacco-induced carcinogenesis. In a large hospital-based case-control study, we investigated DNA repair capacity (DRC) as a biomarker for susceptibility to nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and evaluated the possible interaction between DRC and tobacco...
