  2. ASSOCIATION vs. CONFOUNDING cruciferous vegetables rich in isothiocyanates (ITC) chemopreventive properties against malignancies at different cancer sites including lungs - animals +++ - humans ?because of potential confounding dietary and life-style factors

  4. STUDY DESIGN- Lung Ca vs. dietary cruciferous vegetables Our institute participated in a case-control study of 2141 cases and 2168 controls in six countries of central and eastern Europe, a region that has traditionally high rates of cruciferous vegetable consumption lung cancer cases and age-sex matched hospital or population controls recruited from 15 centres in Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia, and Hungary by use of an identical protocol and questionnaire

  5. STUDY DESIGN – vegetable consumption asessment all participants completed a detailed standardised lifestyle and food frequency questionnaire that had been piloted in all centres before use the dietary component of the questionnaire listed 23 foods, of which three were cruciferous vegetables: cabbage and a combination of brussels sprouts with broccoli the questionnaire was repeated for twodifferent periods: 1. the year before interview 2. before political and market changes in 1989 (1991 in Russia) a weighted age-specific average of the two was calculated

  6. STUDY DESIGN – GST genotyping, ethics for all individuals PCR-based genotyping for GSTM1 and GSTT1 neither GSTM1 nor GSTT1 were related to potential confounding factors in the controls: country, age, smoking status, education, and dietary variables incl. cruciferous vegetables = Mendelian randomization in action written informed consentwas provided by all participants before their involvement in the study ethical approval for recruitment of participants and genotyping was obtained from institutional review boards in all the study centres, and from the IARC ethics committee

  7. RESULTS • weekly consumption of cruciferous vegetables • protected against lung cancer (OR, 95% CI) in homozygotes • - GSTM1 null0·67, 0·49–0·91 • - GSTT1 null0·63, 0·37–1·07 • - M1 / T1 null/null0·28, 0·11–0·67 • similar protective results were noted for consumption of • - cabbage and • - combination of broccoli and brussels sprouts • no protective effect was seen in people who were • - both GSTM1 and GSTT1 positive (0·88, 0·65–1·21) these data provide strong evidence for a substantial protective effect of cruciferous vegetable consumption on lung cancerincidence

  8. CONCLUSIONS an overallprotective effect was seen for consumption of cruciferous vegetables at least once a weekcompared with less than monthly adjusted OR=0·78, 95% CI 0·64–0·96, which was much the same for both cabbage consumption and for broccoli and brusselssprout consumption the results also accord with those of several smaller studies of lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal adenomas, which showed a protective effect in GSTM1 and GSTT1 null carriers
