An inverse association between coffee consumption and the risk of oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal cancers has been suggested in case-control studies, but few results from prospective studies are available. Data from the Miyagi Cohort Study in Japan were used to clarify the association between coffee consumption and the risk of these cancers. Information about coffee consumption was obtained fr...

Each year, more than 30,000 new cases of Oral / Pharyngeal cancers are diagnosed and about 8,000 deaths occur due to oral cancer in U.S. The five-year survival rate with these cancers is about 50 percent (1). Cancer incidence rate in males of all races for 2000 was 15.7 per 100,000 population. This rate was higher for blacks (18.2 per 100,000 population) than whites (15.3 per 100,000 population...

The study investigated the association between dietary patterns and oral cancer as part of a Latin American multicenter hospital-based casecontrol study, and included 210 incident cases of oral cancer and 251 controls. Dietary data were collected using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Factor analysis was used to define dietary patterns, which were categorized into terciles. Odds ratios (OR...
