At least 75% of head and neck cancers are attributable to a combination cigarette smoking alcohol drinking. A precise understanding the independent association each these factors in absence other with risk cancer is needed elucidate mechanisms carcinogenesis assess efficacy interventions aimed at controlling either factor. We examined extent which associated among never drinkers drinking users tobacco. pooled individual-level data from 15 case–control studies that included 10244 case...
The cross sectional study describes the prevalence of infection with Helicobacter pylori as determined by a serodiagnostic assay in over 3000 asymptomatic subjects, two age groups 25-34 years and 55-64 years, from 17 geographically defined populations Europe, North Africa, America, Japan, using common protocol for blood collection serological testing. In all combined, was higher older group (62.4%) than younger (34.9%). There no difference between men women. Subjects education had...
Abstract Analysis of gene expression data suggests that breast cancers are divisible into molecular subtypes which have distinct clinical features. This study evaluates whether pathologic features and etiologic associations differ among subtypes. We evaluated 804 women with invasive 2,502 controls participating in a Polish Breast Cancer Study. Immunohistochemical stains for estrogen receptor α, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER2 HER1), cytokeratin 5 were...

We estimated the number of cancer cases and deaths attributable to alcohol drinking in 2002 by sex WHO subregion, based on relative risks cancers oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, liver, colon, rectum, larynx female breast obtained from recent meta- pooled analyses data prevalence drinkers Global Burden Disease project. A total 389,100 are worldwide, representing 3.6% all (5.2% men, 1.7% women). The corresponding figure for mortality is 232,900 (3.5% deaths). This proportion particularly high...
This overview describes the principles of 4th edition European Code against Cancer and provides an introduction to 12 recommendations reduce cancer risk. Among 504.6 million inhabitants member states Union (EU28), there are annually 2.64 new cases 1.28 deaths from cancer. It is estimated that this burden could be reduced by up one half if scientific knowledge on causes translated into successful prevention. The a preventive tool aimed informing people how avoid or carcinogenic exposures,...
Alcohol consumption is a major cause of disease and death. In previous study, we reported that in 2002, 3.6% all cases cancer similar proportion deaths were attributable to the alcohol.

Background: There are few previous epidemiologic studies of gallbladder cancer, a rare but nearly always lethal gastrointestinal cancer with demonstrated greater frequency in adult women and older subjects both sexes, also the members populations throughout central eastern Europe certain racial groups such as native American Indians. Unfortunately, prospects for prevention this form poor. Purpose: Our purpose conducting study was to investigate possible new risk factors strengthen our...
<b>Objective:</b> To investigate the reasons for decline in deaths attributed to ischaemic heart disease Poland since 1991 after two decades of rising rates. <b>Design:</b> Recent changes mortality were measured as percentage deviations 1994 from rates predicted by extrapolation sex and age specific death 1980-91 diseases circulatory system selected other categories.
