Abstract excerpt
DNA damage is a double-edged sword in cancer cells. On the one hand, DNA damage exacerbates gene mutation frequency and cancer risk. Mutations in key DNA repair genes, such as breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and/or breast cancer 2 (BRCA2), induce genomic instability and promote tumorigenesis. On the other hand, the induction of DNA damage using chemical reagents or radiation kills cancer cells effectively....
