Abstract excerpt
Alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for cancer, particularly of the head and neck. Acetaldehyde, the main ethanol metabolite, is linked to oral carcinogenesis, but the mechanisms are not well understood. While some mutational signatures such as single-base substitution signature SBS16, doublet-base substitution signature DBS4, and indel signature ID11 have been linked to alcohol use, they are not limited...
