Other cancers in lung cancer families are overwhelmingly smoking-related cancers
Familial risks of lung cancer are well-established, but whether lung cancer clusters with other discordant cancers is less certain, particularly beyond smoking-related sites, which may provide evidence on genetic contributions to lung cancer aetiology. We used a novel approach to search for familial associations in the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. This involved assessment of familial relativ...
متن کاملSmoking and cancer-related gene expression in bronchial epithelium and non-small-cell lung cancers.
Tobacco smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer worldwide. Gene expression in surgically resected and microdissected samples of non-small-cell lung cancers (18 squamous cell carcinomas and nine adenocarcinomas), matched normal bronchial epithelium, and peripheral lung tissue from both smokers (n = 22) and non-smokers (n = 5) was studied using the Affymetrix U133A array. A subset of 15 diffe...
متن کاملLung Cancers among Non-smoking Occupants
Air Chek, Inc. is performing survey of over 16,000 households that have tested for radon gas. Rather than attempt to conduct a complete epidemiologic study, the intention is to demonstrate a method of locating lung cancer victims within neighborhoods based on the likelihood that the majority of the structures will have radon measurement levels within a similar range. A preliminary survey was ma...
متن کاملExpression patterns for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes in smoking-related lung cancers
Cigarette smoking is associated with increased risk for all histologic types of lung cancer, but why the strength of this association is stronger for squamous cell carcinoma than adenocarcinoma of the lung (SQC-L, ADC-L) is not fully understood. Because nicotine and tobacco-specific nitrosamines contribute to carcinogenesis by activating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on lung tumors...
متن کاملMentholated cigarettes and non-lung smoking related cancers in California, USA.
We sought to discover if the higher risk among men of lung cancer associated with mentholated than with plain cigarettes applied as well to other smoking related cancers (upper aerodigestive: mouth, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus; pancreas, renal adenocarcinoma, other urinary tract (urothelium), cervix). In 1979–1985, 79 946 subscribers of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in northern Cal...
