Sweetened beverage consumption linked to elevated risk of biliary tract and gallbladder cancer
Menée en Suède à partir de données portant sur 70 832 participants âgés de 45 à 83 ans, cette étude de cohorte prospective évalue l'association entre une consommation de boissons sucrées et le risque de cancer de la vésicule biliaire ou des voies biliaires (127 cas, durée moyenne de suivi :13,4 ans)
Findings published June 8, 2016 in JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute indicate that high consumption of sweetened beverages may increase the risk of biliary tract cancers (BTCs), particularly gallbladder cancer. In the study entitled “Sweetened Beverage Consumption and Risk of Biliary Tract and Gallbladder Cancer in a Prospective Study”, Susanna C. Larsson, PhD, and colleagues evaluated the link between sugar-sweetened beverages and the development of BTCs, which have been associated with weight gain and type 2 diabetes.
In a study population of over 70,000 healthy Swedish adults free of cancer and diabetes, 127 incident BTC case patients were ascertained through the Swedish Cancer Register. After adjusting for other risk factors, both men and women with the highest consumption of sweetened beverages were determined to have a statistically significant increased risk of extrahepatic BTC and gallbladder cancer (...)
