## Abstract Genetic variations increasing blood levels of acetaldehyde, the first metabolite of alcohol, refrain their carriers from drinking alcohol but may also put them at increased risk of cancer because of the mutagenic and carcinogenic effect of acetaldehyde. In a populationβbased study of 30
Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of cancer. Oral cavity cancer has been reported to be epidemiologically associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. We examined genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) M1/T1, cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A1/2
## Abstract In our previous study, we found that polymorphisms of alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase (__ADH1B__ and __ALDH2__) are important risks for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a Taiwanese population. In this study, we increased the sample size to investigate the modifying effect of lif
