Genetics of lung-cancer susceptibility.

The Lancet. Oncology - 1 Apr 2011

Brennan Paul, Hainaut Pierre, Boffetta Paolo

Abstract excerpt

Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer death worldwide. Although reduction of tobacco consumption remains the most appropriate strategy to reduce lung-cancer burden, identification of genes involved in the cause of disease could contribute to further understanding of the underlying mechanisms, and eventually lead to additional prevention strategies and targeted treatments. Common gene variants involved in...
