## BACKGROUND. Epidemiologic studies have indicated that environmental and personal habits, particularly tobacco use and alcohol abuse, are major etiologic factors in the induction and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Molecular studies have focused on HNSCC related to

Well-differentiated mammary carcinomas carrying mutated Ha-ras-1 oncogenes arise frequently in pubescent rats exposed to the direct-acting methylating agent N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). When these tumors are serially transplanted, they acquire more aggressive phenotypes. To determine the genetic al
I-Hydroxyanthraquinone (1-HA), which is present in some herbs, and methylazoxymethanol (MAM) acetate, a metabolite o f azoxymethane, show synergistic carcinogenicity in rat colon, and 1 -HA induces ulcerative changes with simultaneous severe inflammation o f the entire colon. In this study, mutation
## Incidence rates of Wilms' tumor (WT) markedly differ in East Asian and Caucasian children. In the present study, we examined WT1 deletions/mutations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on 11p and 11q in a large number of WTs and compared our findings with those from 4 series of Caucasian WTs. Inci
The p53-inducible cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p2 I / WAFI/CIPI (p2I), plays a pivotal role in the GI arrest or apoptosis of cells expored to genotoxic stimuli. To determine whether p2 I is a putative tumor-suppressor gene, p2 I status was investigated in 4 human bladder-cancer cell lines of k
