Abstract excerpt
One of the most troublesome failures in head and neck tumors treatment is the incidence of multiple primary tumors (MPT). The aim of the study was to identity the genetic factors associated with the predisposition of second cancer occurrence. The polymorphisms of genes involved in carcinogen metabolic activation (CYP1A1, CYP2E1), detoxication (GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTM3, NAT2,) and DNA repair (XPD /A35931C-exon 23 and...
