Therapeutic exposure to ionising radiation can induce normal tissue side effects which consistently differ among individuals suggesting a possible genetic control. One approach to elucidate the underlying mechanisms is to analyse the relation between genetic traits, biomarkers of in vitro DNA damage and side toxicity in vivo.43 breast cancer (BC) patients receiving radiotherapy after a breast-conserving...
Many antineoplastic drugs have been found to have carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic activity and so hospital personnel handling these substances are potentially exposed to health risk. Understanding this risk derived from protracted occupational exposure has great relevance even if the workers normally adopt individual and environmental protective measures. To address this question we have studied...
Genotoxicity of tobacco smoke has long been investigated and tobacco smoke is considered to be one of the principal human carcinogens. Although its role in DNA-damage induction and cancer development has been documented, the mechanisms by which this happens are not well understood. Many chemical constituents of tobacco smoke are enzymatically metabolized by phase-I and phase-II enzymes, but modifications...
