Forces International Back to The evidence SMOKING, ULCER, COLITIS, STOMACH AND COLON CANCER Back to main page Fiber Wards Off Colon Cancer Right on the heels of the study touting a diet of fruit and vegetables as a preventative to heart disease, researchers in France are beating the drums for fiber as a means to ward of colon cancer. Lest anyone get the idea that diet is probably a far better indicator of good health than whether one smokes or not, the researchers make use of their grant money to kiss the behinds of the anti-meat and anti-tobacco crowds. Both red meat consumption and tobacco smoking produce N-Nitroso compounds. One researcher is quoted as saying these compounds are cancerous but several paragraphs down reality rudely intrudes: There is no proof that N-Nitroso compounds in the colon are toxic. "Maybe", "perhaps", "are indicated", "circumstantial evidence". These are the buzz words of people who toil mightily to prove that all the good things of the earth are harmful. After billions of dollars flushed down the drains throughout the Western World, the cause of cancer is still unknown. As the focus shifts from the depleted tobacco companies to the enormously rich fast-food enterprises, be prepared for many more studies that equate "bad" food with smoking tobacco. Nitric oxide mediates a therapeutic effect of nicotine in ulcerative colitis "CONCLUSIONS: Nicotine reduces circular muscle activity, predominantly through the release of nitric oxide-this appears to be 'up-regulated' in active ulcerative colitis. These findings may explain some of the therapeutic benefit from nicotine (and smoking) in ulcerative colitis and may account for the colonic motor dysfunction in active disease."

Living with Cancer - Most common types of cancer Stomach cancer With thanks to CancerBACUP Causes Symptoms Further information There are around 10,000 new cases of stomach cancer diagnosed every year and it is more common in men particularly in late middle age. Late diagnosis often leads to a low survival rate so the sooner it gets treated the better. The stomach lies between the lower end of the gullet (oesophagus) and the beginning of the intestine. Causes The exact causes of stomach cancer are still not known, although it is thought to be related to our diet. There's every reason to believe that a healthy diet will reduce your risk of cancer. Diets containing plenty of fruit and vegetables appear to protect against all cancers - and in particular cancer of the stomach and bowel.

Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is cancer that starts in any part of the stomach. The stomach is just one of many organs located in the abdomen, the area of the body between the chest and the pelvis. Among other organs found in the abdomen are the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and colon. It is important to differentiate among these organs, because cancers and other diseases that affect them present different symptoms and are treated differently. The American Cancer Society estimates that 22,400 Americans will be newly diagnosed with stomach cancer during 2003. Most people diagnosed with stomach cancer are in their 60s and 70s. What causes stomach cancer? The exact cause of stomach cancer is not known, although there are many risk factors believed to contribute to cells in the stomach becoming cancerous.

The condition is a threat to life if left untreated and allowed to spread. (Read about " Cancer: What It Is ") The number of stomach cancer cases is dropping in the United States. The American Cancer Society (ACS) says that it is only one fourth as common as it was in 1930. The reasons are unknown but ACS says it's suspected that the increase in refrigeration of foods and the corresponding reduction in salted and smoked foods in the American diet could be a factor. The stomach is located in the upper abdomen and is part of the digestive system. (Read about " Digestive Diseases and Conditions ") The upper part of the stomach connects to the esophagus, the lower part leads to the small intestine. Cancer occurs when cells become abnormal and start growing uncontrollably... dividing randomly and without order. These unneeded cells can accumulate and form a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor. Tumors can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancer. They are usually removed and often do not come back. Malignant tumors are cancer and can pose a threat to life. Gastric cancer can develop in any part of the stomach. From there it can spread to lymph nodes and other organs such as the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and colon and throughout the body. The spread of cancer is called metastasis. (Read about "

People that carry the bacterium Helicobacter pylori in their stomachs half the world's population are between 3 and 6 times more likely to develop it. In this week's Nature , Emad M. El-Omar, of the US National Cancer Institute, Maryland, and colleagues show that the risk of stomach cancer also depends on the genetic make-up of H. pylori 's human host. H. pylori If, instead, the upper part of the stomach becomes inflamed, acid secretion is reduced and the stomach's function impaired. It is this that, in a small percentage of H. pylori carriers, can lead to cancer. Patients get ulcers or cancer, but not both. To see why, El-Omar and colleagues studied 149 healthy relatives of stomach-cancer patients in the west of Scotland. Of the 103 infected with H. pylori
