Alcohol, diet and body fatness as risk factors for stomach cancer and its subtypes: a pooled analysis of prospective studies from the NCI Cohort Consortium [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description A million people develop stomach cancer annually worldwide; the majority die soon after diagnosis. There is no screening test to identify people with early disease. We will examine whether drinking alcohol, sugary soft drinks, coffee and tea, consuming meat, fish, fruit, vegetable, cereal and fibre, using aspirin and anti-inflammatory medication, and obesity is related to stomach cancer using an international database. Findings may help prevent up to two-thirds of stomach cancers in Australia.
