| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the molecular mechanism of development and progression of upper-aerodigestive tract (UADT: head and neck and esophagus) cancer induced by cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking, paying special attention to multi-centric carcinogenesis.
Conclusions: 1) Both smoking and drinking may induce DNA global hypomethylation, which relates to multi-centric carcinogenesis of the esophagus. 2) Both heavy smoking and heavy drinking are frequently observed patients younger than 50 years compared with elder patients with esophageal cancer. These habits may relate to multiple occurrence of UADT cancer in young patients. 3) SIP1, one of the molecules involved in the epithelial- mesenchymal transition, is correlated with progression of esophageal cancer.
