Tobacco and Cancer Risk Research in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch
DCEG has a long-standing interest in the associations between tobacco and cancer. MEB investigators and collaborators throughout the Division use case-control, prospective studies, and consortia to characterize changing associations between cigarette smoking and cancer. They are also committed to determining the health risks of other tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco, pipes, cigars, as well as new and emerging products such as water pipe.
Examples of studies used in these investigations include:
- Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study
- Prostate, Lung, Colon, and Ovary Prospective Study
- NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
- Environment And Genetics in Lung cancer Etiology
- Barrett’s and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium
- Gastric and Esophageal Malignancies in Northern Iran (GEMINI)
- Golestan Cohort Study
- U.S. Radiologic Technologists Cohort
- New England Bladder Cancer Study
- Interdisciplinary Case-Control Study of Bladder Cancer in Spain
- Case-Control Studies of Multiple Myeloma and Cancers of the Pancreas and Prostate among Blacks and Whites in the United States
