Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms of enzymes involved in carcinogen metabolism have been found to influence susceptibility to cancer. Ethanol-inducible CYP2E1 is an enzyme of major toxicological interest because it metabolizes several drugs, precarcinogens and solvents to reactive metabolites. In the present study, we investigated the cytochrome P450 2E1 genetic polymorphism in renal cell/urothelial cancer patients from two...
