OBJECTIVE: To establish the clinical and demographic profile and identify risk factors among patients with head and neck cancer and relate them to the polymorphism of GSTT1 and GSTM1. METHODS: One hundred patients with head and neck cancer and 100 control group individuals without history of neoplasm were analyzed. . The molecular analysis were made by multiplex polymerase chain reaction. For statistical analysis, data were tabulated and compared by the Fisher's exact test, the Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were also used. RESULTS: There was prevalence of smokers (OR = 5.32, CI 95% CI = 2.04-13.86 p = 0.0006), alcohol drinkers (OR = 5.04, CI 95% = 2.19-11.59 p = 0.0001) in head and neck cancer patients . The GSTT1 null genotype was found in 47% of the patient and 41% of the control group (OR = 0.67; CI 95%= 0.34-1.35; p = 0.2648). Likewise , the GSTM1 null genotype was found in 66% of the patient and 75% of the control group (OR = 2.25; CI 95%= 1.05 - 4.84; p = 0.0368). The combined GSTT1 and GSTM1 gene null genotype shown association between GSTM1 0/GSTT1 and occurrence of head and neck carcinoma (OR = 7.64; CI 95%= 1.72-34.04; p = 0.0076). Analysis of clinical-pathological features showed association between GSTT1 null genotype and larynx, the inverse relation between this genotype and pharynx. CONCLUSION: In our study it was possible to establish association between GSTM1 null genotypes and head and neck cancer.
