## Abstract The metabolism of xenobiotics is complex and involves multiple steps and multiple enzymes. Genetic variation in the genes encoding these enzymes as well as the level of exposure to the substrates of these enzymes could alter metabolism and clearance of potential carcinogens and thus alt

## Abstract GST Alpha 4 (GSTA4) has an important role in the protection against oxidative stress induced by carcinogens such as tobacco smoke. However, few studies investigated the association between __GSTA4__ polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. We genotyped three selected __GSTA4__ SNPs (rs182623
In the large, hospital-based, international case-control study of breast cancer conducted by MacMahon and colleagues in the 1960s, no protective effect of lactation was observed. However, more recent reports have suggested that such an association may be limited to pre-menopausal women. Therefore, a
## Abstract Cyclin D1 (CCND1) and Eβcadherin (CDH1) have been shown to be important genes of the Ξ²βcatenin/LEF pathway that is involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. However, epidemiological studies on relationship between genetic variants of these two genes and colorectal cancer (CRC) have shown i
## Abstract Although the incidence rate of colorectal cancer is very low, and rectal cancer remains more common in India, a significant increase in its incidence has been reported for both men and women over the last 2 decades. We evaluated __MTHFR__ genetic susceptibility and common environmental
