NAT1 and NAT2 genetic polymorphisms and environmental exposure as risk factors for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a case-control study

BACKGROUND: Tobacco smoking and red meat consumption are some of the known risk factors associated with the development of oesophageal cancer. N-acetytransferases (NAT1 and NAT2) play a key role in metabolism of carcinogenic arylamines present in tobacco smoke and overcooked red meat. We hypothesize...
