Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reduced efficiency of DNA repair systems has long been a suspected factor in increasing the risk of cancer. OBJECTIVE: In this work we investigate influence of three selected polymorphisms of DNA repair gene XRCC1 and level of oxidative damage (measured as level of 8-oxo-guanine) on modulation of the risk of HNSCC. METHODS: In group of 359 patients with HNSCC (diagnosed with OSCC) the occurrence of...
