Abstract excerpt
Bile at strongly acidic pH exerts a carcinogenic effect on the hypopharynx, based upon recent pre-clinical studies that support its role as an independent risk factor. We recently demonstrated in vitro that curcumin can prevent oncogenic profile of bile in human hypopharyngeal cells, by inhibiting NF-κB. We hypothesize that topically applied curcumin to the hypopharynx can similarly block early oncogenic...
