Abstract excerpt
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in East Asia is markedly male predominant, strongly associated with genetic susceptibility and modifiable lifestyle exposures. We developed and validated a risk appraisal model for ESCC by integrating genetic polymorphisms of two key alcohol-metabolizing enzymes-ADH1B and ALDH2-with major carcinogenic exposures from alcohol, tobacco, and betel quid among men. Genetic and...
