“…Ovarian cancer gave the strongest relation, which remained significant after control for other dietary variables. Case-control studies have previously shown inconsistent results for this cancer (Cramer et al, 1984;La Vecchia et al, 1987b;Mori et al, 1988) For breast cancer, some case-control studies (Hislop et al, 1986;Talamini et al, 1984) but not all (Lubin et al, 1981;La Vecchia et al, 1987a) have shown positive associations with milk intake. The interaction between milk and alcohol consumption seen in one study (Le et al, 1986) was not supported by our data.…”

Summary Relationships between milk intake and cancer incidence were investigated after I 1I years of follow-up of 15,914 individuals. A diagnosis of cancer was made in a total of 1,422 individuals. No association was established with total cancer incidence, in analyses adjusted for sex, age and residential characteristics. However, a strong positive association with milk consumption was observed for cancers of the lymphatic organs (odds ratio 3.4 for > 2 glasses per day vs <1; 95% confidence interval 1. 4-8.2). An inverse association was found for cancer of the bladder. Kidney cancer and cancers of the female reproductive organs (except the uterine cervix) showed weak positive associations with milk intake.

“…Many studies have been conducted comparing the diets of patients with gastric cancer and those of controls variously selected (Stocks and Karn, 1933;Wynder et al, 1963;Acheson and Doll, 1964;Higginson, 1966). These have not given any strong and consistent indications to incriminate any one item of diet.…”

The sex ratio in gastric cancer and hypothetical considerations relative to aetiology

THE constancy of the sex ratio is a remarkable feature of the epidemiology of gastric cancer. Doll (1956) noted that female death rates in 13 countries ranged from 50-67 per cent of the corresponding rates for males. Haenszel (1958) found that the sex ratios in the 119 economic subregions of the United States for showed no significant departures from the national average. In the 11 areal aggregates of England and Wales mortality of males and females was highly correlated, as was that of males with that of married women by husbands' occupations in the main occupational groups, in the period around the 1951 census (Griffith, 1963). In many different comparisons therefore males and females appear to be subject to common influences so far as gastric cancer is concerned.Data from the Inter American Investigation of Mortality (Puffer and Griffith, 1967) also showed this constancy of the sex ratio. The mean of the ratios of the age-adjusted death rate of males and females in 12 cities was 1 64 and only in one city did the ratio differ significantly from this figure. Closer study revealed, however, that the value of the ratio in the combined material of all 12 cities differed by age over the 60-year age span investigated. Variations in the sex ratio with age had also been noted by Gordon, Crittenden and Haenszel (1961) Kurihara, 1962Kurihara, , 1964Kurihara, , 1966 give deaths by age, sex and site of cancer for 25 population groups in 24 countries for the 6 years 1958-63. The deaths by 5-year age groups from 25 through 84 years of males and of females from cancer of the stomach in each population during the 6 years were aggregated.

“…382 patients gave histories of 452 parents or siblings having suffered from cancer, so that in 70 instances (3.3 per cent) more than one relative was affected. There were 17 instances of both parents having died of cancer amongst 1589 patients of known family history, or 1 in 93; the expectation of this occurring by chance is 1 in 151; Stocks and Karn (1933) found the expected frequency of this event for cancer of all regions to be 1 in 180, the numbers involved being 364 fathers and 323 mothers. As no information about family history was available for 25.4 per cent of the patients, it is impossible to draw definite conclusions from the figures.…”
