## Abstract Smoking and drinking habits as well as family history were examined in 143 men with esophageal cancer, including 30 who had associated second cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) and 113 who did not. The risk of second cancers of UADT associated with the main lesions of the e
In this study, 1,000 Japanese male alcoholics were consecutively screened by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with esophageal iodine staining. Associations among cancer-detection rates, drinking and smoking habits, and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) genotypes were evaluated. A total of 53 patients
## Abstract Cigarette smoke can generate reactive oxygen species, which are capable of inducing doubleβstrand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. Polymorphisms in __XRCC2__ and __XRCC3__ genes, involved in DSBs repair pathways, may alter an individual's susceptibility to smokingβrelated cancers. We investigated
The role of family history in the multiple occurrence of cancer in the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) remains unclear. The family histories of close relatives were examined in 167 patients with either hypopharyngeal or cervical esophageal cancer (PhCe cancer) and in 167 control subjects with benig
