Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) belong to a superfamily of detoxification enzymes that provide critical defences against a large variety of chemical carcinogens and environmental toxicants. GSTs are present in most epithelial tissues of the human gastrointestinal tract. We investigated association

## Abstract ## Background. Factors determining the individual susceptibility to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are still largely unknown. An imbalance between enzymes involved in the toxification and detoxification of (pre)βcarcinogens closely related to HNSCC, which may appear duri
## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate associations between genetic variability in specific Glutathione __S__βtransferases (__GST__) genes (__GSTM1__, __GSTT1__ and __GSTP1__) and susceptibility to breast cancer. Genotypes of blood specimen DNA were determined for 65 women with incide
