Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations in metabolic genes are thought to modify the metabolic process of carcinogens and are suggested to be related to cancer risk. However, epidemiological results are not always consistent. In this meta-analysis, we assessed reported studies of associations between polymorphisms of CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI and DraI, and the risk of lung cancer. We found decreased lung cancer risk among subjects carrying...
