Lung cancer mortality rate in nonsmoking women in Xuan Wei (XW) County is the highest in China. The XW lung cancer rate is associated with exposure to coal smoke, containing high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in unvented homes. Here we investigated codon 12 K-ras mutations in lung tumors or sputum samples from 102 XW lung cancer patients (41 nonsmoking women and 61 smoking...
The p53 gene is frequently mutated in lung tumors, and mutations may be caused by both polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitrosamines found in tobacco smoke. The two major forms of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), are known to differ in the proportion of tumors exhibiting p53 mutation, and may also differ in the mutational spectra produced. Previous studies...
