| Abstract | Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and women, is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually. Women are diagnosed to a greater extent than men with adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma, both of which are secretory-type tumors. Never smokers diagnosed with lung cancer are also predominantly female, demonstrating the association of genetic factors with lung carcinogenesis. Several epidemiologic studies have associates certain CYP1A1 genotypes, alone or in combination, with an increased risk of estrogen-related cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the CYP and GST polymorphisms along with estrogen and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels on the risk of lung cancer. Eighty-six lung cancer patients and 60 controls were included in the study. A significantly higher frequency of polymorphisms in the genes was observed in lung cancer patients compared to controls. Mean estradiol concentration was reduced and IL-6 levels were elevated in patients compared to controls. In conclusion, increased polymorphisms in metabolic genes may be the reason for the reduced estradiol and, thereby, the increased expression of IL-6 in the serum of lung cancer patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
