## Abstract Cigarette smoking is the major risk factor for lung cancer, and together with alcohol for head and neck (Hο£ΏN) cancer. These genotoxics produced DNA damage and particularly doubleβstrand breaks (DSB) that are removed by various repair pathways. To understand the initiation of these cance
## Abstract Numerous prospective and retrospective studies have clearly demonstrated a doseβrelated increased lung cancer risk associated with cigarette smoking, with evidence also for a genetic component to risk. In this study, using the twoβstage clonal expansion stochastic model framework, for t
## Abstract Variation in DNA repair capacity, which is believed to be largely determined by genetic traits, is linked to risk of certain cancers. The Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementary group D (XPD) gene may alter DNA repair capacity. We thus examined t
