Abstract:
To clarify the hypothesis that genetic polymorphisms in alcohol‐metabolizing enzymes may influence susceptibility to lung cancer, the authors conducted a hospital‐based case‐control study and examined genetic polymorphisms in the alcohol dehydrogenase 3, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 ( ALDH 2 ), and cytochrome P450 2E1 genes. The results suggested a positive association between alcohol consumption and lung cancer risk: Drinking may increase the risk, especially among individuals with the variant ALDH 2 alleles.
