## Abstract Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) exposure has been associated with lung cancer risk. ETS is composed of emissions from cigarette smoke and contains a higher concentration of tobacco smoke carcinogens than mainstream smoke. Polymorphisms in genes that metabolize tobacco smoke carcinogen
Endogenous estrogen and tobacco smoke are putative risk factors for breast cancer. The genes CYP1A1 and 1B1 are involved in the metabolism of endogenous estrogen as well as of tobacco specific compounds. In a German population based case-control study of premenopausal breast cancer risk with 394 cas
## Abstract Genetic backgrounds may modify the association of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) with lung cancer risk. Polymorphisms of both the activating and detoxifying enzymes, cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) and glutathioneβSβtransferase M1 (GSTM1), may be important as genetic factors. We conducte
