## Abstract Because selected xenobiotic‐metabolizing enzymes process pro‐carcinogens that could initiate ovarian carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes encoding xenobiotic‐metabolizing enzymes are associated with risk of ovarian cancer. Cases with i

DNA repair gene polymorphisms and mutations are known to influence cancer risk. We studied whether polymorphisms in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair genes are associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. Up to 1,600 cases and 4,241 controls from 4 separate genetic association studies fr
## 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,
