Diet as risk for lung cancer: a Swedish case-control study.

Axelsson G, Rylander R.

Department of Environmental Medicine, Goteborg University, Gothenburg,

Sweden.

Acase-control study was undertaken to study lung cancer in relation to

dietary habits, occupational exposure, and living in urban or country areas.

Suspect lung cancer cases in West Sweden and population controls were

interviewed using a food frequency questionnaire. The study comprised 177

female and 359 male cases and 916 controls. The cases mainly comprised

former and current smokers (82% female, 95% male). For the analysis, cases

were divided into the histological diagnoses adenocarcinoma and squamous

cell, small cell, and adenosquamous cell carcinomas, as well as into smoking

categories. A high frequency of consumption of vegetables was significantly

related to a lower risk for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell and

adenosquamous cell carcinoma among men and adenocarcinoma among women. A low

odds ratio in the highest quartile of vegetable consumption in men was seen

in all smoking categories. There were no significant protective effects from

fruit in the different lung cancer subgroups, although a significant trend

was found for heavy-smoking females. A high consumption of milk was related

to an increased risk for lung cancer, especially adenosquamous cell

carcinoma. The results suggest that the protective effect or risk due to

dietary factors may affect different forms of lung cancer. The results from

this as well as previous studies suggest a complex interaction between diet

and lung cancer risk, involving the types of lung cancer as well as

consumption patterns in the population.

Are diet-prostate cancer associations mediated by the IGF axis? A

cross-sectional analysis of diet, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in healthy middle-aged

men.

Gunnell D, Oliver SE, s TJ, Donovan JL, Persad R, Maynard M, Gillatt D,

Pearce A, Hamdy FC, Neal DE, Holly JM.

Department of Social Medicine, University of Bristol, Canynge Hall,

Whiteladies Road, UK. D.J.Gunnel@...

We examined the association of diet with insulin-like growth factors (IGF)

in 344 disease-free men. Raised levels of IGF-I and/or its molar ratio with

IGFBP-3 were associated with higher intakes of milk, dairy products,

calcium, carbohydrate and polyunsaturated fat; lower levels with high

vegetable consumption, particularly tomatoes. These patterns support the

possibility that IGFs may mediate some diet-cancer associations.

The experience of Japan as a clue to the etiology of testicular and

prostatic cancers.

Ganmaa D, Li XM, Qin LQ, Wang PY, Takeda M, Sato A.

Department of Environmental Health, Medical University of Yamanashi,

Yamanashi, Japan

In Japan dramatic lifestyle changes occurred after World War 2. To examine

the experience of Japan as a clue to the etiology, trends in the mortality

rates of testicular and prostatic cancers from 1947 to 1998 were related to

changes in dietary practices. The male population born before 1945 had a

peak in death from testicular cancer in their thirties or forties, whereas

those born after 1946 had a peak in their twenties. The death rate of

prostatic cancer increased 25-fold almost linearly after the war. The intake

of milk, meat, and eggs increased 20-, 9-, and 7-fold, respectively, after

the war. In connection with the development and growth of testicular and

prostatic cancers in Japan, particular attention should be paid to milk,

because the increase in its consumption in this country is a recent

occurrence and because milk contains considerable amounts of estrogens plus

saturated fats.

Dairy foods and risk of breast cancer: a case-control study in Montevideo,

Uruguay.

Ronco AL, De Stefani E, Dattoli R.

National Cancer Registry, National Institute of Oncology, Ministry of Public

Health, Guayaqui 3211 dep. 301, 11300 Montevideo, Uruguay.

alronco@...

In order to investigate possible associations of milk and dairy products and

the risk of breast cancer (BC) in Montevideo, the authors performed a

case-control study in the period 1999-2001. A total of 333 women were

interviewed with a specific questionnaire; 111 of them had been diagnosed

with BC and 222 were frequency-matched healthy women, with a recent normal

mammography (BIRADS 1). The questionnaire included a detailed 120-item

food-frequency section, as well as questions related to socio-demographic,

reproductive, familial, medical and lifestyle variables. There was

particular emphasis on types of milk and dairy products. After controlling

for age, years of urban status, education, body mass index, age at menarche,

menopausal status, family history of BC, number of childbirths, total energy

and total fruits, a multivariate analysis found that high intakes of whole

milk, chocolate milk and Gruyere cheese were associated with significant

increased risk of BC, whereas ricotta cheese and skim yoghurt were

associated with significant decreased risks. Low-fat and fermented products

combined appear to be the most protective dairy foods. The results suggest

that separate analyses for types of milk and cheese, as well as for dairy

products in general should be performed in the future.
