Includes bibliographical references. Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a complex disease, determined by the interaction of genetic factors with environmental risk factors. In South Africa, OSCC is a major malignancy occurring with high incidence in the Black and Mixed Ancestry populations. Previous studies by our research group have reported that genetic polymorphism of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes influence greatly the detoxification of tobacco-related carcinogens in vivo, and may therefore have an important role in determining susceptibility to oesophageal cancer. 2014-07-28T14:55:42Z 2014-07-28T14:55:42Z 2013 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3139 eng application/pdf Division of Medical Biochemistry Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
