Table of Contents:
- Contents: The influence of host factors on individual susceptibility to tobacco smoke
- The pleiotropic genes that control activation (Phase I) and detoxification (Phase II) of potential carcinogens
- Effects of the metabolism of environmental compounds on the lipophilic properties of a molecule and the introduction of electronegative moieties within the molecule on carcinogenic potential
- Other susceptibility factors related to defects in DNA repair, alterations in tumor suppressor genes and alterations in tumor invasiveness factors
- Polymorphisms in genes and the association of this with lung cancer development
- The role of inherited polymorphisms of genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism, DNA repair and tumor suppression/invasion (alone and in combination) in lung cancer risk, and modification of this risk by environmental factors such as smoking and diet.
