Abstract excerpt
Mutations that activate oncogenes and deactivate tumor suppressor genes are widely recognized as significant contributors to cancer development. We investigated relationships between heavy metal exposure and the frequencies and types of gene mutations in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Plasma concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), and lead...
