Air Pollution, Genetic Factors, and the Risk of Lung Cancer A Prospective Study in the UK Biobank
Rationale: Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to lung cancer, but the degree to which air pollution modifies the impact of genetic susceptibility on lung cancer remains unknown. Objectives: To investigate whether air pollution and genetic factors jointly contribute to incident lung ca...

Zusammenfassung: | Rationale: Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to lung cancer, but the degree to which air pollution modifies the impact of genetic susceptibility on lung cancer remains unknown.
Objectives: To investigate whether air pollution and genetic factors jointly contribute to incident lung cancer.
Methods: We analyzed data from 455,974 participants (53% women) without previous cancer at baseline in the UK Biobank. The concentrations of particulate matter (PM) (PM |
