Abstract excerpt

Excessive alcohol consumption and heavy smoking are the main risk factors for upper digestive tract cancers. Cancer risk is dose-dependent and alcohol and smoking have synergistic effects. Alcohol is not carcinogenic. However, its first metabolite-acetaldehyde-has recently been shown to be a loca...
