## Abstract Chronic inflammation is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), and polymorphisms in genes regulating inflammatory processes appear to alter the risk for neoplasia and the efficacy of nonsteroidal antiβinflammatory drugs in CRC chemoprevention. We examined the associatio
DNA repair gene polymorphisms and mutations are known to influence cancer risk. We studied whether polymorphisms in DNA double strand break (DSB) repair genes are associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. Up to 1,600 cases and 4,241 controls from 4 separate genetic association studies fr
CYP17 encodes the enzyme cytochrome P-450c17β£, which mediates both 17β£-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A polymorphism in the 5 promoter region of the CYP17 gene has been described. Steroid hormones, especially androgens, are believed to play a key role in the etiolog
