[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 5DR0xfFg. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Cancer of the major salivary glands is relatively rare, and little is known about its etiology. The only established risk factors are radiation exposure and a prior cancer. The role of diet in the development of salivary gland tumors has not been addressed previously. The results from a population-based case-control study conducted in the greater San Francisco-Monterey Bay area examining the association between dietary intake and salivary gland cancer risk are presented. Of 199 cases diagnosed with salivary gland tumors between 1989 and 1993,150 (75%) were interviewed. Nine cases were subsequently excluded based on review of pathology specimens. Of 271 controls identified through random-digit dialing and the Health Care Finance Administration files, 191 (70%) were interviewed.
