Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) has been proposed to contribute to the development of upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer that is characterized by poor prognosis. The G-to-A nucleotide change at -308 of the TNF-α gene (-308G/A polymorphism) can increase the expression level of TNF-α and thus may affect the genetic susceptibility of UADT cancer. The association between the -308G/A polymorphism and UADT...
