## Abstract Cigarette smoke can generate reactive oxygen species, which are capable of inducing double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. Polymorphisms in __XRCC2__ and __XRCC3__ genes, involved in DSBs repair pathways, may alter an individual's susceptibility to smoking‐related cancers. We investigated

Abstract
Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for lung and upper‐aerodigestive‐tract (UADT) cancers. One possible mechanism for the associations may be through DNA damage pathways. DNA Ligase I (LIG1) is a DNA repair gene involved in both the nucleotide excision repair (NER) and the base excision repair (BER) pathways. We examined the association of 4 LIG1 polymorphisms with lung and UADT cancers, and their potential interactions with smoking in a population‐based case‐control study in Los Angeles County. We performed genotyping using the SNPlex method from Applied Biosystems. Logistic regression analyses of 551 lung cancer cases, 489 UADT cancer cases and 948 controls showed the expected associations of tobacco smoking with lung and UADT cancers and new associations between the LIG1 haplotypes and these cancers. For lung cancer, when compared to the most common haplotype (rs20581‐rs20580‐rs20579‐rs439132 = T‐C‐C‐A), the adjusted odds ratio (OR) is 1.2 (95% confidence limits (CL) = 0.95, 1.5) for the CACA haplotype, 1.4 (1.0, 1.9) for the CATA haplotype and 1.8 (1.1, 2.8) for the CCCG haplotype, after controlling for age, gender, race/ethnicity, education and tobacco smoking. We observed weaker associations between the LIG1 haplotypes and UADT cancers. Our findings suggest the LIG1 haplotypes may affect the risk of lung and UADT cancers. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Previous studies reported an inverse relationship between body mass index (BMI) and upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers. Examining change in BMI over time may clarify these previous observations. We used data from 2,048 cases and 2,173 hospital‐ and population‐based controls from t
## Abstract ## Background. The inter‐individual differences in upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer risk may be partly attributed to the polymorphic variability in the __CYP1A1__ gene that is involved in the metabolic activation of xenobiotics to carcinogenic reactive metabolites. ## Methods.

## Abstract Although tobacco smoking has long been recognized as a major risk factor for cancer of the upper aero‐digestive tract (UADT, __i.e__., oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and oesophagus), very few studies have provided estimates of the effect of very low tobacco consumption. Step‐functions ha
