## 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
## 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 e
## 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
