6 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Alcohol consumption is recognized as a potential risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC). Genetic polymorphisms, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) Glu487Lys and alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ADH2) His47Arg, which have a strong impact on alcohol metabolism, are common in Japanese population but their significance for CRC carcinogenesis remains to be clarified in detail. We, therefore, conducted a matched case-control...
