Human cancer genomes harbor the mutational signature of tobacco-specific nitrosamines NNN and NNK
2024-06-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Tobacco usage is linked to multiple cancer types and accounts for a quarter of all cancer-related deaths. Tobacco smoke contains various carcinogenic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), though the mutagenic potential of many tobacco-related chemicals remains largely unexplored. In particular, the highly carcinogenic tobacco-specific nitrosamines NNN and NNK form pre-muta...
