Abstract excerpt
Functional polymorphisms of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) may play a critical role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses and could affect transcriptional levels of the TNF-α gene and thus contribute to carcinogenesis and outcomes of cancer patients. In a cohort study, we explored the associations between TNF-α polymorphisms and risk of recurrence of squamous cell carcinoma of the...
