Abstract
The authors present a review of literature showing that the variations in xenobiotic oxidation phenotype, in the presence of cytochromes P-450, may be responsible, to a certain extent, for the varied individual susceptibility to neoplasm induced by chemical carcinogens. The evidence collected revealed that in the human population, one may distinguish individuals with high cytochrome activity and those in whom this reaction is low or even absent.
