## Abstract Cigarette smoke can generate reactive oxygen species, which are capable of inducing doubleβstrand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. Polymorphisms in __XRCC2__ and __XRCC3__ genes, involved in DSBs repair pathways, may alter an individual's susceptibility to smokingβrelated cancers. We investigated
## Abstract ## Background. The interβindividual differences in upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer risk may be partly attributed to the polymorphic variability in the __CYP1A1__ gene that is involved in the metabolic activation of xenobiotics to carcinogenic reactive metabolites. ## Methods.
## BACKGROUND. Multiple intraesophageal primary cancer and upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer associated uith esophageal cancer are common diseases, especially in heavy drinkers. Thev are often explained by the concept of field cancerization, which suggests a similar etiology. However, little
The role of family history in the multiple occurrence of cancer in the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) remains unclear. The family histories of close relatives were examined in 167 patients with either hypopharyngeal or cervical esophageal cancer (PhCe cancer) and in 167 control subjects with benig
In this study, 1,000 Japanese male alcoholics were consecutively screened by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with esophageal iodine staining. Associations among cancer-detection rates, drinking and smoking habits, and aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) genotypes were evaluated. A total of 53 patients
