In German the consumption of food among cirrhotic patients, whether male or female and among male patients with primary liver cancer (PLC), is virtually the same as in normals. Alcohol consumption is very high in all three groups. The heaviest drinkers are the cirrhotic males, but the highest
BACKGROUND
While tobacco and alcohol are established risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer, it is unknown whether they also increase the risk of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Thus, we examined the association between tobacco and
BACKGROUND
Our previous studies have revealed that nicotine-treated immature dendritic cells (imDCs) have anti-tumor effects in murine lymphoma models. The present study is to explore the preventive and therapeutic anti-tumor effects of nicotine-treated imDCs in murine lung and liver
Although tobacco smoking has been reported as a risk factor for liver cancer, few studies have specifically explored the association among Chinese females and the potential interaction between smoking and other risk factors. A population-based case-control study was conducted and 2,011 liver cancer
In Thailand, smoking of commercial cigarettes and of handmade cigarettes has drastically increased in recent decades. Cancer of the lung and of the upper aero-digestive tract have also increased in Thailand as they have in many other countries. It is our working hypothesis that the increase of
BACKGROUND
Resection remains the gold standard in the treatment of liver tumors. But radiofrequency ablation allows destruction of small liver tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surface application of a saline-linked dissecting sealer (TL) on the tumor bed that might contain
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BA-ELISA) involving use of biotin-labeled anti-rabbit IgG and avidin-labeled horseradish peroxidase was developed for the measurement of O6-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (O6-MedGuo). Up to 5 micrograms of methylated DNA was enzymatically hydrolyzed, and the extent of
The purpose of this report is to summarize the roles of alcohol and tobacco exposure in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Chronic heavy alcohol exposure is a major risk factor for HCC, which is the most frequent type of liver cancer. Alcohol ingestion may initiate and or promote the
Early epidemiologic studies have reported that tobacco smoking, which is causally associated with liver cancer, is an independent risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD). Lycopene from tomatoes has been shown to be a potential preventive agent against NAFLD and hepatocellular
The tobacco-specific nitrosamine, 4-(methyl-nitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), is a potent carcinogen in adult rodents and variably effective transplacentally, depending on species. In pursuit of the thesis that human infants may be especially vulnerable targets for tumor initiation by
The transplacental tumorigenicity of the tobacco-specific carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) was assessed in three strains of mice: A/J; C3H/He x C57BL/6 F1 (hereafter called C3B6F1); and Swiss outbred [Cr:NIH(S)]. NNK (100 mg/kg) was administered i.p. on Days 14, 16,
OBJECTIVE
To assess the hazards at an early phase of the growing epidemic of deaths from tobacco in China.
METHODS
Smoking habits before 1980 (obtained from family or other informants) of 0.7 million adults who had died of neoplastic, respiratory, or vascular causes were compared with those of a
This paper briefly reviews the health hazards associated with smoking, including passive smoking, with specific reference to local (Hong Kong) evidence. A Medline search of Hong Kong papers from January 1966 to January 1998 was made, and these and other relevant papers were reviewed. In Hong Kong,
Attributes of age, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption were studied in order to elucidate their roles in the increased risks of blacks for selected neoplasms. Black cancer patients with and without liver cirrhosis were compared by cancer sites, age, tobacco usage, and alcohol consumption.
