Video Summary

The video discusses a study on the associations between urinary biomarkers of tobacco toxicants and lung cancer incidents in smokers using data from the multi-ethnic cohort study. The study found that certain biomarkers were significantly associated with increased lung cancer risk, even after adjusting for smoking history and other biomarkers. Specifically, increased 2A6 enzymatic activity ratio, acrolein, and cadmium were associated with increased lung cancer risk. The findings suggest that urinary biomarkers may be informative in assessing lung cancer risk beyond self-reported data. Further replication of the study is underway.
