چکیده
The report by WCRF / AICR (2007) concluded that high intake of processed meat convincingly increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CCR). In relation to esophageal (EA) and gastric cancer (GC) the report judged evidence as limited-suggestive. Previous results from EPIC have shown that processed meat PM is a risk factor for CCR (Norat, JNCI, 2005) and GC (González, JNCI 2006). Moreover, a preliminary analysis done by our group based in 136 oesophageal adenocarcinoma also suggests that PM is a relevant risk factor.
