Journal ArticleDOI

DNA repair polymorphisms and cancer risk in non-smokers in a cohort study.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the XPD/ERCC1-GAT haplotype may modulate leukaemia and possibly other cancer risks and that the combined effects of polymorphisms within these DNA repair genes, smoking and other risk factors may help to clarify the influence of genetic variation in the carcinogenic process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and risk of lung cancer in a prospective study in Europe.

TL;DR: A nonsignificant association between lung cancer and residence nearby heavy traffic roads is found and the association with NO2 did not change after adjustment by cotinine and additional potential confounders, including occupational exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI

TP53 and KRAS2 Mutations in Plasma DNA of Healthy Subjects and Subsequent Cancer Occurrence: A Prospective Study

TL;DR: This is the first report of TP53 or KRAS2 mutations in the plasma of healthy subjects in a prospective study, suggesting that KRas2 mutation is detectable ahead of bladder cancer diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung cancers attributable to environmental tobacco smoke and air pollution in non-smokers in different European countries: a prospective study

TL;DR: It is estimated that 5–7% of lung cancers in European never smokers and ex-smokers are attributable to high levels of air pollution, as expressed by NO2 or proximity to heavy traffic roads, and this estimate is likely to be an underestimate.
