Polymorphisms in xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes have been implicated in inter-individual and inter-ethnic differences in cancer susceptibilty. Several studies have indicated an association between variant alleles of the human CYP1A1, CYP2E1 and GSTM1 genes and lung cancer. Activity of microsomal ep

## Abstract Estrogen and its metabolites are believed to play important roles in breast cancer, and its determinants include both genetic and lifestyle factors. The objective of the study is to investigate the association of breast cancer risk in Thailand with genetic polymorphisms in several genes
## Abstract The metabolism of xenobiotics is complex and involves multiple steps and multiple enzymes. Genetic variation in the genes encoding these enzymes as well as the level of exposure to the substrates of these enzymes could alter metabolism and clearance of potential carcinogens and thus alt
Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of cancer. Oral cavity cancer has been reported to be epidemiologically associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. We examined genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) M1/T1, cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A1/2
## Abstract Genetic variations increasing blood levels of acetaldehyde, the first metabolite of alcohol, refrain their carriers from drinking alcohol but may also put them at increased risk of cancer because of the mutagenic and carcinogenic effect of acetaldehyde. In a populationβbased study of 30
