DNA Damage and Repair Capacity in Patients With Lung Cancer: Prediction of Multiple Primary Tumors
17 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Patients who survive one occurrence of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are at higher risk of a second malignancy. Capacity to repair damaged DNA may modulate individual susceptibility to develop lung cancer. Therefore, we evaluated constitutive and induced DNA damage, and repair capacity, in patients with multiple NSCLCs (cases) and compared the results to those obtained in patients with a single...
