Abstract Background: Chronic inflammation is implicated in ovarian carcinogenesis, but how different inflammation-related exposures individually or jointly affect histotype-specific associations remains unclear. Materials and Methods: We pooled data from 16 case-control studies in the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium to evaluate associations of eight inflammation-related factors (anti-inflammatory: aspirin use, tubal ligation (TL); pro-inflammatory: endometriosis, obesity, lifetime ovulatory cycles (LOC), smoking, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)) with epithelial ovarian cancer (OvC) by histologic subtype. We examined individual associations and clustering of risk factors across histotypes and computed population attributable risk (PAR) for each factor. We assessed additive and multiplicative interactions for exposure combinations. Results: Associations with OvC risk differed by histotype (e.g., high-grade serous: aspirin: OR=0.90; 95%CI 0.82, 0.99; TL: OR=0.80; 95%CI 0.73, 0.88; overall serous: endometriosis: OR=1.17; 95%CI 1.03, 1.31; high LOC: OR=1.42; 95%CI 1.28, 1.58; obesity (low-grade serous): OR=1.50; 95%CI 1.14, 1.98). Clustering analyses showed highly correlated risk profiles in endometrioid and clear cell (r=0.91). High-grade serous and mucinous profiles were moderately correlated with endometrioid and clear cell (r=0.60) tumors. The profile for low-grade serous (r=0.36) tumors was distinct from other histotypes. PAR estimates suggested modifying aspirin use, TL, and LOCs could substantially reduce burdens of endometrioid, clear cell and mucinous tumors. Out of 28 exposure combinations tested in overall OvC and 189 by histotype, we observed 12 interactions. Not using aspirin regularly showed positive additive interactions with obesity and high LOCs, particularly in endometrioid tumors (obesity relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI)=0.74, 95%CI 0.31, 1.18; Pint=0.001 for; LOCs RERI=0.80, 95%CI 0.03, 1.56; Pint=0.04). Not using aspirin regularly also showed a positive additive interaction with endometriosis in clear cell tumors (RERI=1.77, 95%CI 0.03, 3.52; Pint=0.05). Lack of TL showed positive interactions with obesity in endometrioid (RERI=0.86, 95%CI 0.17, 1.53; Pint=0.01) and mucinous (RERI=1.10, 95%CI 0.23, 1.97; Pint=0.01) tumors, while negative additive interactions were observed for smoking and endometriosis in endometrioid tumors (RERI=-1.12, 95%CI -2.19, -0.05; Pint=0.04). A multiplicative interaction was observed between obesity and endometriosis in mucinous tumors (Pint=0.01). Conclusion: The findings suggest ovarian tumorigenesis is strongly shaped by pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways that act largely independently. Further examining these pathways may clarify the origins of histotype heterogeneity and guide prevention strategies.

ImportanceLip, oral, and pharyngeal cancers are important contributors to cancer burden worldwide, and a comprehensive evaluation of their burden globally, regionally, and nationally is crucial for effective policy planning.ObjectiveTo analyze the total and risk-attributable burden of lip and oral cavity cancer (LOC) and other pharyngeal cancer (OPC) for 204 countries and territories and by Socio-demographic Index (SDI) using 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) Study estimates.Evidence ReviewThe incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to LOC and OPC from 1990 to 2019 were estimated using GBD 2019 methods. The GBD 2019 comparative risk assessment framework was used to estimate the proportion of deaths and DALYs for LOC and OPC attributable to smoking, tobacco, and alcohol consumption in 2019.FindingsIn 2019, 370 000 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 338 000-401 000) cases and 199 000 (95% UI, 181 000-217 000) deaths for LOC and 167 000 (95% UI, 153 000-180 000) cases and 114 000 (95% UI, 103 000-126 000) deaths for OPC were estimated to occur globally, contributing 5.5 million (95% UI, 5.0-6.0 million) and 3.2 million (95% UI, 2.9-3.6 million) DALYs, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, low-middle and low SDI regions consistently showed the highest age-standardized mortality rates due to LOC and OPC, while the high SDI strata exhibited age-standardized incidence rates decreasing for LOC and increasing for OPC. Globally in 2019, smoking had the greatest contribution to risk-attributable OPC deaths for both sexes (55.8% [95% UI, 49.2%-62.0%] of all OPC deaths in male individuals and 17.4% [95% UI, 13.8%-21.2%] of all OPC deaths in female individuals). Smoking and alcohol both contributed to substantial LOC deaths globally among male individuals (42.3% [95% UI, 35.2%-48.6%] and 40.2% [95% UI, 33.3%-46.8%] of all risk-attributable cancer deaths, respectively), while chewing tobacco contributed to the greatest attributable LOC deaths among female individuals (27.6% [95% UI, 21.5%-33.8%]), driven by high risk-attributable burden in South and Southeast Asia.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this systematic analysis, disparities in LOC and OPC burden existed across the SDI spectrum, and a considerable percentage of burden was attributable to tobacco and alcohol use. These estimates can contribute to an understanding of the distribution and disparities in LOC and OPC burden globally and support cancer control planning efforts.
