Cellular and molecular mechanisms of multistep carcinogenesis: relevance to carcinogen risk assessment.

TL;DR: Carcinogenesis is a multistep process involving alterations in at least two distinct classes of genes, protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, which appear to act as positive proliferative signals for neoplastic growth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomarkers measured by cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay for evaluating genetic damages induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

TL;DR: NPBs and NBUDs are more sensitive and reliable biomarkers for genetic damages induced by PAHs and could potentially be used for the biomonitoring of genotoxin-exposed populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of Interactions between PAH Exposure and Genetic Polymorphisms on PAH-DNA Adducts in African American, Dominican, and Caucasian Mothers and Newborns

TL;DR: Interactions between certain genetic polymorphisms and CYP1A1 haplotype and PAHs in mothers and their newborns in the three ethnic groups are suggestive only, warranting further study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of smoking with lower urinary tract symptoms.

TL;DR: The similarity in the odds ratios of lower urinary tract symptoms between current and former smokers suggests that changes caused by smoking occur long term or the pathological process resulting in symptoms starts early in smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

A/J mouse as a model for lung tumorigenesis caused by tobacco smoke: strengths and weaknesses.

TL;DR: Strain A/J mice have successfully been used to develop an animal model for tobacco smoke carcinogenesis, and the assay allowed one to detect substantial chemopreventive activity of a mixture of myo-inositol and dexamethasone, but was less successful in showing efficacy for several other agents.
