In this multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) and fine mapping study of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) subsites, we analysed 19,073 cases and 38,857 controls and identified 29 independent novel loci. We provide robust evidence that a 3' UTR variant in (rs78378222, T>G) confers a 40% reduction in odds of developing overall HNSCC. We further examine the gene-environment relationship of and variants demonstrating their effects act through both smoking and alcohol use.

Purpose: Dietary factors might contribute to the risk of lung cancer by increasing the concentration of inflammatory markers. The literature-derived Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) has been established to evaluate the inflammatory potential of diet correlated with inflammatory markers. The association between DII scores and the risk of lung cancer has been conflicting.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between dietary total antioxidant capacity (dTAC) and the risk of lung cancer (LC) in an Iranian population.
  • Researchers conducted interviews and dietary assessments with over 600 lung cancer patients and 3,400 healthy controls across 10 provinces in Iran.
  • Results show that higher dTAC, measured by FRAP and TRAP scores, correlates with a lower risk of lung cancer, with consistent findings across different demographic and lifestyle groups.

Background: The inflammatory potential of diet may affect carcinogenesis. This study aimed to determine the association between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC), as well as the interaction between DII and cigarette smoking in HNC development within the Iranian population. This is a case-control study.

Truly one-dimensional titanium oxide nanofilaments with a lepidocrocite structure (1DLs) were explored in the adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of aqueous malachite green (MG), a toxic polluting dye. Decolorization is monitored by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and mineralization is confirmed by total organic carbon analysis. The 1DL/MG flocs are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
