Abstract

The multifactorial process of carcinogenesis involves mutations in oncogenes, or tumor suppressor genes, as well as the influence of environmental etiological factors. Common DNA polymorphisms in low penetrance genes have emerged as genetic factors that seem to modulate an individual's susceptibility to malignancy. Genetic studies, which lead to a true association, are expected to increase understanding of the pathogenesis of each malignancy and to be a powerful tool for prevention and prognosis in the future. Here, we review the findings of genetic association studies of gene polymorphisms in gynecologic cancer with special reference to glutathione-S-transferase, FAS/CD95 and p53 genes including our recent research results.
