Ohio: Can cigarette smoke and the
saliva of heavy smokers influence the metabolism of cancer-inhibiting
chemicals found in strawberries and expression of genes associated with
oral cancer risk? A new pilot study conducted at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute
(OSUCCC – James) hypothesized that they can, and initial data reveals
some intriguing differences in the oral microenvironment of smokers
versus non-smokers.
