Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological and family studies suggest that lung cancer results from the combined effects of age, smoking and genetic factors. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is also an independent risk factor for lung cancer and coexists in 40-60% of lung cancer cases. METHODS: In a two-stage case-control association study, genetic markers associated with either susceptibility or protection against...
