Abstract excerpt
Excessive estrogenic influence is known to be associated with initiation/promotion of endometrial cancer (EC). Allelic polymorphisms of the genes involved in steroidogenesis/steroid metabolism may contribute to EC susceptibility. It is important to know endocrine mechanisms by which such susceptibility is acquired. Here, we compared CYP19 (aromatase) and CYP17 (17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase) gene polymorphisms...
