Prognostic factors associated with the survival of oral and pharyngeal carcinoma in Taiwan.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In this work, we have conducted a case-control study in order to assess the effect of tobacco and three genetic polymorphisms in XPC, ERCC2 and ERCC5 genes (rs2228001, rs13181 and rs17655) in bladder cancer development in Tunisia. We have also tried to evaluate whether these variants affect the bladder tumor...
