Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in EGFR 497Arg>Lys and EGF +61A>G genes influence cell cycle progression, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Therefore, we assessed association of esophageal cancer (EC), its clinical characteristics, and environmental interactions with these polymorphisms in 174 patients with EC and 196 controls. No association of EGFR 497Arg/Arg genotype was observed (OR 1.48, p = 0.067) but EGF...
