Sporadic breast cancers often show allelic losses on the long arm of chromosome 17. Since the BRCA1 gene lies at 17q21.1 and the TOC locus, associated with esophageal cancer, lies at 17q25.1, either gene could be the target of those losses. We examined both loci in 178 primary breast cancers, using
Cigarette smoking is the major known risk factor for head and neck cancer. Tobacco promotes oxidative stress and enhances tissue levels of 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G) in smokers. The presence of 8-OH-G does not impede replication but leads to an accumulation of G 3 T transversions. Recently, the gene
