Laryngeal cancer is the neoplasm with the largest male to female sex ratio in most populations. Thus, inadequate data are available on women. We analyzed several risk factors in the combined dataset from two case-control studies conducted between 1986 and 2000 in northern Italy and Switzerland.
Laryngeal cancer represents an important cause of cancer in France, and the individual effects of alcohol and tobacco on this cancer site are well known. However the problem of the interaction between these agents is less extensively documented, and the role of the high consumptions of alcohol has
The incidence of laryngeal cancer is strongly connected with exposure to tobacco smoke containing at least 40 genotoxic carcinogens. DNA lesions induced by tobacco smoke carcinogens can be turned into stable mutations. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are first of all responsible for initiation
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to investigate the joint effect of occupational exposure to asbestos, and tobacco and alcohol consumption, on the risk of laryngeal cancer among men.
METHODS
We used data from a large population-based case-control study conducted in France. We estimated
A New South Wales Supreme Court jury has decided that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) can cause or materially contribute to the development of laryngeal cancer. Evidence presented that ETS may cause or materially contribute to laryngeal cancer included the molecular genetics of
In a series of 213 incident cases of laryngeal cancer, interviewed 10 years ago in the framework of a population-based case-control study, survival has been evaluated in relation to tobacco, alcohol consumption and dietary habits. The occurrence of other primaries and stage at diagnosis were taken
BACKGROUND
Laryngeal cancer patients who continue to smoke after treatment are at an elevated risk of mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to identify factors associated with continued tobacco use following treatment in patients with laryngeal cancer.
METHODS
A smoking behaviour questionnaire,
OBJECTIVE
The paper examines the determinants associated with second primary occurrence in laryngeal cancer cases.
METHODS
A series of 220 incident male laryngeal cancer cases was interviewed 10 years ago within the framework of a population-based, case-control study. The occurrence of other
Information is lacking on environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and the risk of laryngeal cancer. We performed a population-based case-control study conducted in Germany, with 257 cases and 769 controls. ETS exposure was assessed from spouse/partner, working history and childhood. The odds ratio (OR)
OBJECTIVE
Alcohol and tobacco consumption are recognized risk factors for upper aerodigestive tract tumours, however individual susceptibility to these environmental factors varies. As part of the Rhein-Neckar Larynx-case-control study, this study investigated the potential risk-modifying effect of
Data from a hospital-based case-control study between 1985-1990 were used to examine the effects of tobacco, alcohol, asbestos, and other occupational exposures on laryngeal cancer risk in 194 white men with primary cancer of the larynx and 184 age-matched control subjects. A dose-dependent effect
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) isoenzymes are involved in the detoxification of several tobacco smoke-derived carcinogens. It is thus conceivable that deficiency in GST activity due to homozygous deletion of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes (the null genotypes) may modulate susceptibility to
Laryngeal cancer in Poland is characterized by high levels of morbidity and mortality. The main risk factors for the larynx cancer are alcohol drinking and tobacco smoking. In contrary to well established tobacco-related evidence for an increased risk of larynx cancer, alcohol-related mechanisms of
Cancer of the larynx constitutes an increasingly important problem in Polish males during the last 25 years. A population-based case-control study of laryngeal cancer among people under 65 years of age was conducted in Lower Silesia, a province in Southwest Poland, from 1986 to 1987, with 249
Tumours of head and neck belong to the most frequent types of cancer world-wide. In Poland, mortality from larynx cancer among males has been continuously increasing during the last decades up to 8.4 deaths per 100,000 men in 1993, which exceeds epidemiological records from other countries. The
