In order to identify biomarkers able to predict lung cancer risk in women surviving breast cancer, the hormone status and the expression of markers involved in DNA repair, DNA synthesis, and cell division were investigated. Breast cancer patients reporting alteration of DNA-repair machinery (BRCA1/2) and reduction of microtubule dynamicity (TUBB3) seem more susceptible to developing lung cancer after therapy-related DNA-damaging effects.

Abstract
In order to identify biomarkers able to predict lung cancer risk in women surviving breast cancer, the hormone status and the expression of markers involved in DNA repair, DNA synthesis, and cell division were investigated. Breast cancer patients reporting alteration of DNA-repair machinery (BRCA1/2) and reduction of microtubule dynamicity (TUBB3) seem more susceptible to developing lung cancer after therapy-related DNA-damaging effects.
