Abstract excerpt
A total of 297 resected Japanese non-small cell lung cancers (74 squamous cell carcinomas and 223 adenocarcinomas) were analyzed to evaluate the validity of the p53 mutation spectrum as a fingerprint for mutagenic substances as etiological factors. Frequencies of G-->T transversions in smokers were significantly higher than in non-smokers (P = 0.003) and the average incidence of G-->T at hot spot codons of adduct...
