DNA repair is a system of defenses designed to protect the integrity of the genome. Deficiencies in this system likely lead to the development of cancer. The epidemiology of DNA repair capacity and of its effect on cancer susceptibility in humans is, therefore, an important area of investigation. We have summarized all of the published epidemiologic studies on DNA repair in human cancer through 1998 (n = 64) that addressed the association of cancer susceptibility with a putative defect in DNA repair capacity. We have considered study design, subject characteristics, potential biases, confounding variables, and sources of technical variability. Assays of DNA repair capacity used, to date, can be broadly grouped into five categories: 1) tests based on DNA damage induced with chemicals or physical agents, such as the mutagen sensitivity assay, the G2-radiation assay, induced micronuclei, and the Comet assay; 2) indirect tests of DNA repair, such as unscheduled DNA synthesis; 3) tests based on more direct measures of repair kinetics, such as the host cell reactivation assay; 4) measures of genetic variation associated with DNA repair; and 5) combinations of more than one category of assay. The use of such tests in human populations yielded positive and consistent associations between DNA repair capacity and cancer occurrence (with odds ratios in the range of 1.475.3, with the majority of values between 2 and 10). However, the studies that we have reviewed have limitations, including small sample size, "convenience" controls, the use of cells different from the target organ, and the use of mutagens that do not occur in the natural environment. The evolving ability to study polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may contribute to new understandings about the mechanisms of DNA repair and the way in which DNA repair capacity affects the development of cancer.
