Title
The Sulfur Microbial Diet Is Associated with Increased Risk of Esophageal Cancer in the PLCO Cancer Screening Trial
Summary
As the seventh most common and sixth most lethal cancer in the world, esophageal cancer is estimated to have 18,440 new cases and 16,170 cancer deaths in the United States in 2020 [1, 2]. Recently, a newly established dietary pattern, the sulfur microbial diet (SMD) pattern, characterized by high intake of processed meat and liquor, and low intake of other vegetables, legumes, fruit juice and whole grain, has been suggested to increase the colorectal neoplasm risk[3, 4]. However, whether the SMD can increase the risk of esophageal cancer remains to be elucidated. Thus, we performed the study to explore the association between the sulfur microbial diet and the incidence of esophageal cancer.
