Patients who survive one non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are at higher risk of a second malignancy. Capacity to repair damaged DNA may modulate individual susceptibility to develop lung cancer. Therefore, we evaluated constitutive and induced DNA damage, and repair capacity, in patients with multiple NSCLC (cases) and compared the results to those obtained in patients with single NSCLC (controls). One-hundred and eight cases and 99 controls matched by age, gender and time since diagnosis were studied. DNA damage was assessed on peripheral blood lymphocytes by the comet assay before and after exposing cells to a tobacco-derived carcinogen, using the tail moment (TM), and the tail intensity (TI) as measures to assess baseline damage, induced damage and repair capacity. Constitutive DNA damage, BPDE-induced damage, and repair after BPDE-induced damage were all significantly higher in cases than in controls. These results were confirmed in regression analyses adjusted for potential confounders. DNA damage as measured by the comet assay is associated with the development of multiple primary tumors in individuals with NSCLC.
