Re: environmental tobacco smoke, genetic susceptibility, and risk of lung cancer in never-smoking women.
BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is considered to be a major lung cancer risk factor for never smokers. We investigated the hypothesis that never-smoking women who are exposed to ETS and develop lung cancer are a genetically susceptible population. METHODS Archival tumor tissues were analyzed from 106 never-smoking women enrolled in a case-control study of ETS (and oth...
متن کاملEvaluation of the risk of lung cancer due to hookah smoking: a meta-analysis study
Background: Hookah smoking has been growing among people because consumers believe that smoking in the form of hookahs has lesser health effects than cigarettes. However, recent reports showed that water pipe smoking (WSP) increased heart rate, blood pressure, impaired pulmonary function and carbon monoxide intoxication.

Method: This is a comparative study, a comprehensive one which was done on lung cancer rates in four countries, Iran, Turkey, England and UAS...
متن کاملAberrant promoter methylation of p16 and MGMT genes in lung tumors from smoking and never-smoking lung cancer patients.
Aberrant methylation in gene promoter regions leads to transcriptional inactivation of cancer-related genes and plays an integral role in tumorigenesis. This alteration has been investigated in lung tumors primarily from smokers, whereas only a few studies involved never-smokers. Here, we applied methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction to compare the frequencies of the methylated promote...
