We have read with great interest the recent work by Sun et al. (1) about the role of functional FAS and FASL gene polymorphisms and esophageal squamous- cell carcinoma risk. In addition to the report of Sun et al., polymorphisms of the FAS/FASL system have also been shown to be associated with acute myeloid leukemia (2
