Maternal Exposure to N-nitrosatable Drugs as a Risk Factor for Childhood Brain Tumors. International Journal of Epidemiology, 24(2), 308-12.Abstract
BACKGROUND: Animal models suggest that compounds containing a nitrosyl group (N-nitroso compounds (NNO)) can act as potent transplacental carcinogens. Many common drug formulations have the potential to undergo nitrosation in vivo. The association between maternal use of nitrosatable drugs during pregnancy and development of brain tumours in the offspring was examined in a SEER-based case-control study.URL
