Core Tip

Core tip: Sporadic colorectal cancer (SCRC) includes malignancies that occur in the colon and rectum. This type of cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. The main etiological factors are age over 50 years and tobacco and alcohol consumption. The elimination of environmental carcinogens contained in tobacco, as well as alcohol, requires metabolic activation mediated by xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs). The CYP2E1*5B and CYP2E1*6 polymorphisms were associated with SCRC, as well as the CYP2E1*5B (C) and CYP2E1*6 (A) haplotype (minor alleles). Polymorphisms in several genes encoding these XMEs may be involved in alterations in gene expression related to important processes of colorectal carcinogenesis such as inflammation and angiogenesis.
