## 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

## Abstract Two non‐synonymous polymorphisms Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln in the DNA‐base excision repair gene X‐ray repair cross‐complementing group 1 (__XRCC1__) have been implicated in risk for esophageal cancer. However, the results from different studies remain controversial. The present meta‐analy
## Abstract GST Alpha 4 (GSTA4) has an important role in the protection against oxidative stress induced by carcinogens such as tobacco smoke. However, few studies investigated the association between __GSTA4__ polymorphisms and lung cancer risk. We genotyped three selected __GSTA4__ SNPs (rs182623
We discuss a sample size calculation for a pair-matched case-control study to test for interaction between a speci"c exposure and a second risk factor. The second risk factor could be either binary or continuous. An algorithm for the calculation of sample size is suggested which is based on a logist
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a central role in angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. We investigated the associations between VEGF gene polymorphisms and gastric cancer (GC) risk predisposition and prognostic characteristics in an Omani population, an ethnic gro
## Abstract Although the incidence rate of colorectal cancer is very low, and rectal cancer remains more common in India, a significant increase in its incidence has been reported for both men and women over the last 2 decades. We evaluated __MTHFR__ genetic susceptibility and common environmental
