Ethanol‐mediated carcinogenesis in the human esophagus implicates CYP2E1 induction and the generation of carcinogenic DNA‐lesions
16 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
Chronic alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for esophageal cancer. Various mechanisms may mediate carcinogenesis including the genotoxic effect of acetaldehyde and oxidative stress. Ethanol exerts its carcinogenic effect in the liver among others via the induction of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) and the generation of carcinogenic etheno-DNA adducts. Here we investigated if such effects can also be observed...
