A New Way To Look At Lung Cancer And Tobacco Carcinogens

Previous studies have shown how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons damage DNA, with the emphasis on how PAHs bind directly to DNA itself, leading to the mutations in critical genes that cause disease. Now, researchers have shown that PAHs, via oxidative stress, can also led to mutations in critical genes important in lung cancer.
