Abstract
Among 309 male patients, those who had heavily consumed betel and tobacco were more likely than nonchewers (OR = 2.91; 95% Cl = 1.36-6.25) and nonsmokers (OR = 2.49; 95% Cl = 1.02-6.08) to develop cancer in the upper and middle third of the oesophagus, respectively; the effects of alcohol did not dominate in any third. ? 2003 Cancer Research UK.
