Abstract excerpt
Epidemiologic studies have suggested that smokers of air-cured tobacco (rich in arylamines) are at higher risk of bladder cancer than smokers of flue-cured tobacco. The risk has been shown to be modulated by the N-acetyltransferase genotype. We analyzed the biopsies of 45 patients with bladder cancer. p53 mutations were sought by direct sequencing, and 4-aminobiphenyl-DNA adducts were measured by negative ion gas...
