Research sheds light on why smoking leads to cancer in some individuals but not others
A study conducted by the University of Cambridge has offered insights into why DNA damage triggered by smoking or sun exposure leads to cancer in certain people and not others. By exposing mice with varying genetic makeups to the same cancer-causing agents, the team observed that although the resulting tumours arrived at the same biological outcomes, the unique mutation patterns and evolutionary routes taken were determined by the specific genetic traits inherited by each mouse.
