Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Exposure to nitroso compounds and the activity of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), an activation enzyme for these carcinogens, are important factors in gastric carcinogenesis. Here, we investigated the potential correlation between genetic variation in CYP2E1 and its enzyme expression as detected with immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and cancer susceptibility in unoperated and remnant stomach. METHODS:...
