Influence of smoking in the glutathione-S-transferase M1 deficiency - associated risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder in schistosomiasis patients in Egypt

British Journal of Cancer volume 74, pages 836–838 (1996)Cite this article

Abstract

In this study we show an effect of the glutathione-S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null phenotype on the risk for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder among male smokers in Egypt, with an adjusted odds ratio of 4.8 (95% confidence interval: 1.06-21.77). However, no overall effect of the GSTM1 null phenotype on the risk for bladder SCC was observed.
