Abstract
Micronuclei (MN) formation has been observed (cancer and pre-cancerous lesions) of the oral cavity among betel quid chewers. Micronuclei act as a cancer biomarker which is related with smokeless tobacco associated genetic mutations. Micronuclei are a sensitive indicator of genetic damage. These are small, extra nuclear bodies that are formed during mitosis from lagging chromosomes. The test is used as a tool for genotoxicity and easily detectable without affecting the cancer patients. The present review focuses on the various types of cancer of the human body with micronuclei study.
