## 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 carcinogenβmetabolizing enzyme funct

## 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
## Abstract Head and neck cancer is a challenging disease that is expected to account for greater than 500,000 new cases worldwide in 2008. Toxicity has impeded advances in chemotherapy and radiation for head and neck cancer, and the prognosis for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic disease r
## 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 hospitalβbased caseβcontrol study, we tested the hypothesis that a C
