## Abstract ## Background. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of (pre)carcinogens in tobacco smoke. We investigated whether functional genetic polymorphisms in mEH may have a riskβmodifying effect on head and neck carcinogenesis. ## Methods. Blood from 429

Background. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is a common cancer type. The ability for curative treatment with surgery and radiotherapy (RT) is usually highly dependent on tumor stage at the time of diagnosis. Methods. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the expres
Background. We sought to evaluate the estimated risk of GSTM1 null genotype and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Methods. The studies done so far for GSTM1 null genotype as a risk factor associated with head and neck cancer are not conclusive and have shown conflicting results.
## Abstract We examined antibody response to VLP HPVβ16, HPVβ16 E6 and E7 antibodies as potential seromarkers of HPVβrelated head and neck cancer (HNC). The study included 204 HNC cases and 326 controls evaluated for HPV presence in sera using ELISAs for antiβHPV VLP antibodies and HPVβ16 E6 and/or
## Abstract ## __Background.__ To the best of our knowledge, no studies to date have evaluated roles of insulinβlike growth factor binding protein 5 (__IGFBP5__) polymorphisms in risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). ## __Methods.__ A hospitalβbased study of 1082 patients
