Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of cancer. Oral cavity cancer has been reported to be epidemiologically associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. We examined genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) M1/T1, cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 1A1/2E1 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genes in 92 Japanese patients with oral cavity cancer and 147 unrelated...
