## Abstract The association between lung cancer risk and 2 polymorphisms, rs12268840 and rs2308327 (codon K178R), in the DNA repair protein, __O__^6^βalkylguanineβDNA alkyltransferase, which are associated with interindividual differences in activity, have been investigated in 3 hospitalβbased case
The expression of several cancer-related genes has been reported to be silenced by DNA methylation of their promoter region. 5-Aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR), a potent and specific inhibitor of DNA methylation, can reactivate the in vitro expression of these genes. In future clinical trials in tumo
