Among 51 countries, those having high mortality rates for male lung cancer generally have high rates for female breast cancer (highest in England, Scotland, and the Netherlands). Conversely, those having low rates for one disease have low rates for both (P less than 0.001). Mortality rates available
Known breast-cancer risk factors account for only part of the variability in breast-cancer incidence. Tobacco smoke is not commonly considered a breast carcinogen, but many of its constituents, such as N-nitrosamines, are carcinogenic in laboratory animal studies. Herein, we assessed a cytochrome P4
