UKEMS/Dutch EMS-sponsored workshop on biomarkers of exposure and oxidative DNA damage & 7th GUM-32P-postlabelling workshop, University of Munster, Munster, Germany, 28-29 March 2011

Environmental exposures are a major concern for human cancer. However, the precise contribution of specific risk factors and their interactions, both with each other and with genotype, continue to be difficult to elucidate. The exposome is the comprehensive characterisation of an individual’s lifetime exposure history (Wild, C. P. (2009) Environmental exposure measurement in cancer epidemiology. Mutagenesis, 24, 117–125). Unravelling complex environmental and genetic aetiologies in order to plan effective public health interventions demands that both environmental exposures and genetic variati... Mehr ...
