Gene–environment interaction in tobacco-related cancers

Author(s) : Taioli, Emanuela
Description : This review summarizes the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke and the basis for interaction between tobacco smoke and genetic factors. Examples of published papers on gene–tobacco interaction and cancer risk are presented. The assessment of gene–environment interaction in tobacco-related cancers ...

Human papillomavirus type 16 and 18 in primary lung cancers—a meta-analysis

Description : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. A possible carcinogenic role of human papillomavirus (HPV) has been investigated for >20 years and has major clinical and public health implications. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of HPV16 and HPV18 in primary lu...

Geographic and outcome variation among black men diagnosed with prostate cancer

Description :

Abstract

Background

Prostate cancer is the sixth leading cause of death from cancer among men worldwide. We have previously reported that prostate cancer survival rates for Caribbean-born males in the US was similar to survival rates of African-Americans and was higher than their co...

Leptin levels and leptin receptor polymorphism frequency in healthy populations

Description :

Abstract

Background

The leptin receptor gene (LEPR) polymorphism Q223R is one of the most common in the general population, and is thought to be associated with an impaired signaling capacity of the leptin receptor and with higher mean circulating levels of leptin. Leptin i...

Comparison of estrogens and estrogen metabolites in human breast tissue and urine

Description :

Abstract

Background

An important aspect of the link between estrogen and breast cancer is whether urinary estrogen levels are representative of the intra-tissue levels of bioavailable estrogens.

Methods

This study compares 15 estrogen and estrogen metabolite levels in ...

Role of GSTT1 deletion in DNA oxidative damage by exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in humans.

Description : A useful approach for studies on the mechanisms of genetic variation in cancer susceptibility is to use intermediary biochemical endpoints with mechanistic relevance to the genes under study. We examined the effects of individual genotype at seven metabolic gene loci on a marker of oxidative DNA dam...

Genetic susceptibility to benzene toxicity in humans.

Description : Human metabolism of benzene involves pathways coded for by polymorphic genes. To determine whether the genotype at these loci might influence susceptibility to the adverse effects of benzene exposure, 208 Bulgarian petrochemical workers and controls, whose exposure to benzene was determined by activ...
