Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Caspase8 influences carcinogenesis through regulation of apoptosis, hyperproliferation, and metastasis. Role of genetic variations in caspase8 has been explored in various cancers; however, their predictive and prognostic role in esophageal cancer is poorly understood. METHODS: We investigated the association of two potential caspase8 polymorphisms: CASP8 -652 6N del and CASP8 IVS12-19 G>A...
