Abstract excerpt
The interaction between environmental exposures and host susceptibility may lead to specific mutational events within head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Furthermore, this interplay may determine not only the probability of cancer development but also the biologic characteristics of the tumor once it occurs. To better understand the relationship of mutagen sensitivity and tobacco and/or alcohol...
