Kurzfassung:
What's new? Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are known carcinogens generated by vehicular traffic. They damage DNA by forming adducts or inducing oxidative stress. Here the authors examined the association between traffic exposure and breast cancer incidence while taking into account different DNA repair genotypes. Cancer risks were elevated in women carrying certain DNA repair variants especially when some variants were combined. These findings may help identify women who are particularly susceptible to the carcinogenic effects of traffic pollution on the breast.
