Abstract excerpt
Sequence-dependent formation and lack of repair of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-induced DNA adducts correlates well with the positions of p53 mutational hotspots in smoking-related lung cancers (Denissenko et al, 1996, 1998). The mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is considered to be a major causative agent in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in regions with presumed high food contamination by AFB1. A unique...
