Genotoxic changes in peripheral lymphocytes after therapeutic exposure to crude coal tar and ultraviolet radiation
Aims: Goeckerman therapy is based on combined exposure to UV radiation (UVA, UVB) and crude coal tar (PAHs).Some indicators suggest a genotoxic hazard, however, the level of genotoxic risk of the therapy has not yet been investigated sufficiently.This study aims to assesss the genotoxic risk.Methods: The studied group consisted of patients with chr
