## Abstract The risk association between tobacco and alcohol use with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is well recognized. However, clearly not all individuals who smoke or drink develop SCCHN. Individual genetic susceptibility differences in carcinogenโmetabolizing enzyme funct

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Tobacco smoke contains numerous carcinogens that cause DNA damage, including oxidative lesions that are removed effectively by the baseโexcision repair (BER) pathway, in which adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT), xโray repair crossโcomplementing 1 (XRCC1),
Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) of the head and neck is a recently described high-grade variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It is a biologically virulent neoplasm with a propensity for nodal, as well as systemic, metastases. Because of the limited number of published reports, we reviewed dat
## Abstract Individuals differ in their ability to repair DNA damage induced by carcinogens. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in DNA repair genes contribute to individual variation in DNA repair capacity and cancer risk. In a hospitalโbased caseโcontrol study, we tested the hypothesis that a C
## Loss of heterozygosity (LOH ) at chromosome band 10q23 occurs frequently in a wide variety of human tumors. A recently identified candidate tumor suppressor gene, PTEN located on 10q23, is mutated in multiple advanced cancers. To explore whether PTEN is associated with human squamous cell carci
