( World Journal of Gastroenterology ) Glutathione-S-transferase is involved in detoxification of carcinogenic compounds. The GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes have been linked to increased risk of developing cancer. A research group from South Korea investigated the association of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes with the risk of gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), conducted using a ...
State officials will expand a study of cancer cases in a northern New Jersey town that once was home to a DuPont munitions plant.

This review gives an account of recent advances in our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer. Genetic changes in the germ line, combined with somatic mutations, occur in familial syndromes of colorectal cancer, whereas somatic mutations are the outstanding feature of sporadic colorectal cancer. Genetic changes drive the progression from adenoma to carcinoma and probably ...
