## Abstract In view of the persisting uncertainty concerning possible mechanisms by which high vegetable and fruit intake decreases cancer risk, foods with divergent values for potentially important micronutrients are a priority for investigation. Tomatoes are low in betaβcarotene, but high in lyco

## Abstract In a systematic search for risks associated with the consumption of alcohol and tobacco in relation to cancers of the digestive tract, oesophageal cancer was found to be significantly related to both factors. There was a slightly elevated risk for rectal cancer among alcohol consumers a
## Abstract Pipe smoking has been related to the risk of cancers of the upper digestive and respiratory tract, but quantification of the risk for exclusive pipe smokers is still limited. To analyse the association between exclusive pipe smoking and cancers of the upper digestive tract, we used data
## Abstract Recently, the loss of helicaseβlike transcription factor (HLTF) gene expression accompanied by HLTF promoter methylation was identified in colon cancers. We examined HLTF methylation in colorectal, gastric and esophageal carcinomas. Twentyβfive of 76 colorectal cancers (33%), 11 of 65 g
The FHIT gene was recently discovered and proposed as a tumor-suppressor gene. We examined the FHIT gene in a panel of digestive-tract cancers along with their corresponding non-tumorous tissues by reverse transcription of FHIT mRNA followed by PCR amplification and sequencing of the products. A nor
In our integrated series of case-control studies conducted in Italy and Switzerland (324 oral, 397 pharyngeal, 271 oesophageal, 506 laryngeal cancers and 3,263 controls), individuals who also drank alcoholic beverages outside meals showed an increased risk compared to those who drank at meals only.
