## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Pancreatic cancer is a multifactorial disease with metastasis‐prone and therapy‐resistant nature. The authors hypothesized that genetic variants of glutathione S‐transferase (GST) affect detoxification of carcinogens and anticancer agents in the human pancreas and, thus,

Several reports have suggested that one or both of the trinucleotide repeat polymorphisms in the human androgen receptor (hAR) gene, (CAG) n coding for polyglutamine and (GGC) n coding for polyglycine, may be associated with prostate cancer risk; but no study has investigated their association with
Long-term exposure to oestrogens is a well-recognised risk factor for breast cancer, whereas little is known about the influence of polymorphisms of genes involved in oestrogen biosynthesis and metabolism. A candidate, containing a single bp polymorphism, T8C, (designated, A2 allele), might be the C
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: The ataxia‐telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is thought to play a major role in the caretaking of the overall genome stability, and its mutations have been implicated in human cancers. However, the role of ATM polymorphisms in oral carcinogenesis is largely unexplo
