Data from a hospital-based case-control study of oral and pharyngeal cancer conducted in Northern Italy were used to analyse the risk associated with alcohol in non-smokers and with tobacco in non-drinkers. Out of a total of 336 cases (291 males and 45 females) and 1.652 controls (I ,272 males and 3

Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is an important risk factor in predicting subsequent development of invasive carcinoma. Despite the malignant potential of OED, the current state of knowledge regarding aetiological risk factors associated with OED is limited. The aim of our study was to evaluate the
Purified DNA from human lung, liver, bladder, pancreas, breast and cervix has been analysed for DNA adducts using the nuclease P, modification of the 32P post-labelling technique. Tissues were obtained at autopsy from 13 men and 6 women. Relatives were asked to provide information on smoking history
