Abstract

Objective-The high prevalence of esophageal cancer (EC) in northern Iran, along with its
unknown etiology, continues to be a major public health problem. Ecological and casecontrol
studies have discussed the probable role of dietary factors in this disease. The aim
of this study was to determine the relationship between EC and the type and characteristics
of consumed food and beverages at the time of the study as well as in the past.
Methods-A total of 99 cases and 192 controls were enrolled in this study. Clinicians and
pathologists referred the patients to the Babol Research Base, which is under the
supervision of the Institute of Public Health Research of Tehran University of Medical
Sciences. For each patient two controls were selected from their neighbors. Data were
collected by means of a structured questionnaire concerning dietary habits.
Results-There were no significant differences between the case and control groups in
respect to the age, sex and ethnic origin. The case group showed significant differences in
family history of cancer other than EC, history of gastroesophageal reflux, habit of rapid
drinking of hot tea, and eating of hot foods. These factors were found to be related to the
presence of EC, whereas eating cheese, vegetables, fresh fruits, black pepper and turmeric
were found to be protective factors.
Conclusion-This study showed some differences in the diet content and habits of
patients suffering from EC in comparison to normal controls. Further elaborate studies are
required to reveal the true pattern of dietary divergence in these patients. Besides, the
authors are aware that recall bias might have distorted some of the results. More objective
measures for assessment of diets are recommended.
