Abstract excerpt
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), which is relatively prevalent in Korea, is believed to be induced by environmental carcinogens and host genetic factors. Accumulating evidence has shown that genetic differences in DNA repair capacity resulting from genetic polymorphism influence the risk of environmental carcinogenesis. We therefore examined the associations of genetic polymorphisms in the...
