The Role Of Alcohol Intake And Smoking On Upper Aero-Digestive Cancers

September 8, 2011
This paper provides an extensive analysis of the proportion of the risk of upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) cancers in the population (the population attributable risk) that may be due to alcohol consumption and/or smoking. The analyse provides strong evidence that smoking is the most important factor in the risk of ...

The Effects Of Smoking And Alcohol Use On Risk Of Upper Aero-Digestive Cancers

August 4, 2011
