Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se) is a trace element suggested to act chemopreventive in lung cancer. The mechanism by which Se suppresses tumour development may be associated with some of the functions of selenoproteins, including 15 kDa selenoprotein (Sep15). This protein exhibits antioxidant properties and thus may be involved in the process of carcinogenesis. Recently, it has been shown that the genetic polymorphism...
