Tea consumption and its interactions with tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking on oral cancer in southeast China

Abstract: Tea consumption protects against oral cancer in non-smokers or non-alcohol drinkers, but this effect may be obscured in smokers or alcohol drinkers. Additionally, demographics may modify the association between tea consumption and oral cancer.

“…Although there was limited evidence to explain this finding, a recent study indicated that concentration of serum Cu was higher in smokers than nonsmokers (Memon et al, ). It is well established that tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for oral cancer (Chen et al, ). Previous studies demonstrated that smoking inhibited the production of antioxidant enzymes and induced oxidative stress (Gupta, Khanduja, & Sharma, ).…”

“…Oral cancer, the most common cancer in head and neck, is a growing public health problem in many parts of the world especially for developing countries . Our previous epidemiological studies have suggested that environmental factors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, tea consumption, dietary factors, oral hygiene, and HPV infection were associated with the risk of oral cancer . However, despite exposure to the same environmental factors, only a few individuals develop oral cancer, indicating that genetic factors also play a critical role in oral cancer.…”

“…2 The few studies assessing the additive interaction for tobacco and alcohol conducted their analysis in individual HNSCC subsites and reported super-additive interactions of varying degrees. [27][28][29] Oral Hr-HPV infections were significantly associated with HNSCC, regardless of Hr-HPV genotype. A study conducted in Canada did not find any significant association with HNSCC and Hr-HPV types excluding HPV16.…”
