Objective Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are common cancers in Iran. This study aims to investigate the relationship of simultaneous tobacco and opium use on the risk of GI cancers.
Methods This is a case-control study that was conducted on 60 people with GI cancers and 120 healthy peers in East of Hormozgan, south of Iran, in 2019. The data was collected by a questionnaire surveying demographic information, information about the type of cancer and family history of the disease, and information about the history of opium use and tobacco consumption in the last ten years. Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test were used to evaluate the difference in characteristics between the two groups. Also, logistic regression analysis was used to the relationship of tobacco and opium use with GI cancers.
Results The results showed that tobacco and opium use greatly increased the risk of GI cancers. Th odds ratios (OR) in people with only cigarette smoking (OR=5.08), only hookah smoking (OR=17.71), only opium use (OR=31.05), simultaneous opium and hookah use (OR=65.81), simultaneous opium and cigarette use (OR=77.08) and simultaneous cigarette, hookah, and opium use (OR=110.74) increased significantly (P<0.05).
Conclusion There is a significant relationship between simultaneous opium and tobacco use and GI cancer development. By identifying the risk factors of GI cancers, the findings of this study can help prevent these diseases in the study area.
