Aryl Hydrocarbon Hydroxylase in Man and Lung Cancer

Introduction

Human Genetic Variation in Response to Medical and Environmental Agents: Pharmacogenetics and Ecogenetics

Part of the book series: Human Genetics, Supplement ((HUMAN GENETICS,volume 1))

Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in most Western countries. In the United States it accounts for 33% of the cancer deaths in males and 11% of the cancer deaths in females. More males die from lung cancer than from the four next common cancer sites combined, i. e., colon, prostate, pancreas, and stomach cancer. In females, lung cancer holds third place in cancer deaths, preceded only by breast and colon cancer (Silverberg, 1977). Of all the common cancers it is the one most clearly associated with environmental agents, the most notable of which is cigarette smoking.
