Cigarette smoking and pancreatic cancer: a pooled analysis from the pancreatic cancer cohort consortium.

چکیده
Smoking is an established risk factor for pancreatic cancer; however, detailed examination of the association of smoking intensity, smoking duration, and cumulative smoking dose with pancreatic cancer is limited. The authors analyzed pooled data from the international Pancreatic Cancer Cohort Consortium nested case-control study (1,481 cases, 1,539 controls). Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by using unconditional logistic regression. Smoking intensity effects were examined with an excess odds ratio model that was linear in pack-years and exponential in cigarettes smoked per day and its square. When compared with never smokers, current smokers had a significantly elevated risk (odds ratio (OR) = 1.77, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.38, 2.26). Risk increased significantly with greater intensity (> or =30 cigarettes/day: OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.27, 2.42), duration (> or =50 years: OR = 2.13, 95% CI: 1.25, 3.62), and cumulative smoking dose (> or =40 pack-years: OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.35, 2.34). Risk more than 15 years after smoking cessation was similar to that for never smokers. Estimates of excess odds ratio per pack-year declined with increasing intensity, suggesting greater risk for total exposure delivered at lower intensity for longer duration than for higher intensity for shorter duration. This finding and the decline in risk after smoking cessation suggest that smoking has a late-stage effect on pancreatic carcinogenesis.

Association between alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer: a systematic review of cohort studies
Background: Among all types of cancers, pancreatic cancer has poor prognosis with 5-year survival below 10%. In theory, alcohol intake may be a modifiable risk factor for pancreatic cancer due to its role in multiple carcinogenic and metabolic signaling pathways. In addition, alcohol consumption may lead to chronic pancreatitis which is underlying cause of pancreatic cancer. However, little is ...
متن کاملActive and passive smoking and the risk of pancreatic cancer in the Netherlands Cohort Study.
BACKGROUND To date, cigarette smoking is the most consistent risk factor for pancreatic cancer. We prospectively examined the role of active cigarette smoking, smoking cessation, and passive smoking as determinants for pancreatic cancer. METHODS The Netherlands Cohort Study consisted of 120,852 men and women who completed a baseline questionnaire in 1986. After 16.3 years of follow-up, 520 in...
متن کاملCoffee and alcohol consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer in two prospective United States cohorts.
Although most prospective cohort studies do not support an association between coffee consumption and pancreatic cancer, the findings for alcohol are inconsistent. Recently, a large prospective cohort study of women reported statistically significant elevations in risk of pancreatic cancer for both coffee and alcoholic beverage consumption. We obtained data on coffee, alcohol, and other dietary...
متن کاملA prospective study of folate intake and the risk of pancreatic cancer in men and women.
Laboratory and human studies suggest that folate intake may influence the risk of some cancers. However, prospective information about the relation between folate intake and the risk of exocrine pancreatic cancer is limited. The authors examined the relation of dietary folate intake to the risk of pancreatic cancer in two large prospective US cohorts. Folate intake was assessed by food frequenc...
