Journal ArticleDOI
Rising incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia.
TL;DR: Cancer incidence data from nine areas of the United States revealed steadily rising rates from 1976 to 1987 of adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia, which disproportionately affected white men and rarely occurred among women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing patterns in the incidence of esophageal and gastric carcinoma in the United States
TL;DR: The authors update the incidence trends through 1994 and further consider the trends by age group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition Intervention Trials in Linxian, China: Supplementation With Specific Vitamin/Mineral Combinations, Cancer Incidence, and Disease-Specific Mortality in the General Population
William J. Blot,J. Li,Philip R. Taylor,Wande Guo,Sanford M. Dawsey,Guo-Qing Wang,Chung S. Yang,Su Fang Zheng,Mitchell H. Gail,Guang Yi Li,Yu Yu,Buo qi Liu,Joseph A. Tangrea,Yu hai Sun,Fu-Sheng Liu,Joseph F. Fraumeni,You Hui Zhang,Bing Li +17 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that vitamin and mineral supplementation of the diet of Linxian adults, particularly with the combination of beta carotene, vitamin E, and selenium, may effect a reduction in cancer risk in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased risk of noncardia gastric cancer associated with proinflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms
Emad M. El-Omar,Charles S. Rabkin,Marilie D. Gammon,Thomas L. Vaughan,Harvey A. Risch,Janet B. Schoenberg,Janet L. Stanford,Susan T. Mayne,James J. Goedert,William J. Blot,Joseph F. Fraumeni,Wong-Ho Chow +11 more
TL;DR: A proinflammatory cytokine genetic profile increases the risk of noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma but not other upper gastrointestinal cancers, possibly by inducing a hypochlorhydric and atrophic response to gastric H. pylori infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population attributable risks of esophageal and gastric cancers.
Lawrence S. Engel,Lawrence S. Engel,Wong Ho Chow,Thomas L. Vaughan,Marilie D. Gammon,Harvey A. Risch,Janet L. Stanford,Janet B. Schoenberg,Susan T. Mayne,Robert Dubrow,Heidrun Rotterdam,A. Brian West,Martin J. Blaser,William J. Blot,Mitchell H. Gail,Joseph F. Fraumeni +15 more
TL;DR: In this population, a few known risk factors account for a majority of esophageal and gastric cancers, and results suggest that the incidence of these cancers may be decreased by reducing the prevalence of smoking, gastric reflux, and being overweight and by increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
