it is concerned explicitly with the primary
prevention of cancer, and has a global perspective.

with an extract of tomatoes. Studies of the
association between the consumption of tomato
products rich in lycopene and the risk for
various cancers have produced encouraging
but not conclusive results. |

Aspirin
May Cut Risk of Throat Cancer
5 March, 2003
Taking low-dose aspirin regularly could cut
the risk of developing cancers of the mouth,
throat and esophagus, Italian researchers
said on Tuesday. Millions of people already
take the painkiller to relieve headaches and
arthritis and to prevent heart attacks and
stroke. Studies have also suggested the century-old
drug could have a protective effect against
bowel and lung cancer. |

The
Health Evidence Bulletins - Wales
act as signposts to the best evidence
for prevention of mouth cancers. Examining
a broad range of evidence types and subject
areas, where information from randomised controlled
trials is available it is included.
However, many health issues do not lend themselves
easily to investigation, or have not yet been
studied, by this method. In these cases,
high quality evidence has been sought from
observational and other studies. |
