Abstract excerpt
Tobacco smoke and occupational exposures to chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are, aside from alcohol, the major risk factors for development of head and neck squamous-cell cancer (HNSCC). In this study, new statistical methods were applied. We employ new statistical methods to detect genetic interactions perhaps of higher order, that might play a role in developing HNSCC. The underlying...
