Existing evidence suggests that at least some forms of cancer are linked to chemicals in the environment. The papers in this book, written by some of the most prominent international specialists in the field, discuss DNA repair processes in prokaryotic cells, lower eukaryotes and mammalian cells. Their goal is a better understanding of the intricate relationship between metabolism of nitroso compounds, DNA alkylations, DNA repair, DNA replication, and cell transformation. The work will interest biochemists, cellular biologists, and oncologists.
