Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) is the most abundant marker of DNA damage and it reflects oxidative stress. Human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (hOGG1) is a DNA-repair enzyme that participates in 8-oxodG removal. METHODS: hOGG1 protein expression was immunohistochemically studied in 96 patients with local or locally advanced breast cancer and in 20 lesions of non-malignant breast disease....
