Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) focused on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has identified several susceptible regions (5q11, 21q22, 6p21 10q23, and 12q24) in Chinese population. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in these regions for ESCC were also associated with the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) which share similar risk factors with...
