Tooth loss strongly linked to risk of esophageal, head and neck, and lung cancer
Studying thousands of patients, Japanese researchers have found a strong link between tooth loss and increased risk of three cancers - esophageal, head and neck, and lung. They suggest that preservation of teeth may decrease risk of developing these diseases. (2008-05-14)
Alcohol consumption and polymorphisms of cytochromes P4502E1 are high risks for ESCC
Heavier alcohol consumption increases the risk of ESCC. There are synergetic interactions among alcohol drinking and ALDH2, ADH1B, CYP2E1 genotypes. (2008-03-13)
Alcohol and cancer: is drinking the new smoking?
Researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have clarified the link between alcohol consumption and the risk of head and neck cancers, showing that people who stop drinking can significantly reduce their cancer risk. (2007-09-26)
PET accurately identifies esophageal cancer patients' positive responses to chemotherapy
Early metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) accurately identifies patients responding to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, noted German researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. (2007-06-04)
8 plants from South Africa may hold potential for treating high blood pressure
Medicinal plants are an integral part of African culture, one of the oldest and most diverse in the world. In South Africa, 21st century drug therapy is used side-by-side with traditional African medicines to heal the sick. (2007-05-02)
Esophageal cancer rates climb with obesity; U-M study finds esophagectomy safe in obese patients

Does too much protein in the diet increase cancer risk?
A great deal of research connects nutrition with cancer risk. Overweight people are at higher risk of developing post-menopausal breast cancer, endometrial cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer and a certain type of esophageal cancer. (2006-12-07)
OHSU findings may improve how people with chronic heartburn, precancer of the esophagus are screened
Researchers in the Oregon Health & Science University Digestive Health Center are first to report that screening people with chronic heartburn or pre-cancer of the esophagus in an office setting using a "skinny scope" is as accurate, less expensive and less risky than a traditional sedated screening in a procedure room - and patients prefer it. (2006-12-04)
What cures your aches might prevent cancer
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center has begun three clinical studies looking at the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to prevent cancer - colon, esophageal or lung. (2006-11-30)
Optical technique provides improved 'virtual biopsies' of internal surfaces
A new optical imaging technique, developed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), can provide three-dimensional microscopic views of the inner surfaces of blood vessels and gastrointestinal organs. (2006-11-20)
