Abstract excerpt
Some but not all human epidemiological studies suggest a higher incidence of colon cancer in rapid acetylator individuals. Aberrant crypts, the earliest morphologically evident preneoplastic lesions in chemical colon carcinogenesis, were measured in rapid and slow acetylator congenic Syrian hamst...
