Cancer risk can be influenced by the exposure to endogenous or environmental toxins. Polymorphic enzymes involved in the metabolic activation/detoxification of carcinogens may account for individual variations of risk. We studied the polymorphisms of five enzymes of the P450 superfamily, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2E1 and CY3A4, as risk factors for liver disease progression and cancer in hepatitis C...
