Genetic susceptibility to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

In addition to influences of exposure to carcinogenic compounds, the development of cancer may depend on an individual intrinsic cancer susceptibility. Biomarkers for cancer susceptibility can be powerful additions to epidemiologic analyses. This multicenter, case-control analysis combines previously published data and new data to substantiate the value of mutagen sensitivity as a biomarker of susceptibility to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and, more importantly, to gain insight into the interaction between susceptibility and exposure to carcinogens. Mutagen sensitivity (mean number of chromatid breaks per cell of cultured lymphocytes treated with bleomycin in the late S-G2 phase of the cell cycle) was determined in 313 patients with head and neck cancer and in 334 control subjects at two major U.S. medical institutions and one European institution, yielding a unique study population. The ages of the case and control subjects, as well as their history of use of tobacco and alcohol, were also recorded. The relationships between variables were analyzed by use of Student's t tests, Spearman's rank correlations, and multiple linear regression. For estimation of cancer risk, crude odds rations (ORs) were measured and multipl...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
