“…This finding is supported by Honjo et al (2005), who reported that both ex-drinkers and current regular consumers of alcohol were at increased risk of CCA. The finding is also consistent with the results of the study by Songserm et al (2012), who reported a strong positive relationship between the risk of CCA and the monthly number of units of alcohol consumed. The results of the study by Poomphakwaen et al (2009) are less clear, but the consumption of more than 0.5 units per day was a risk factor in their univariate analysis.…”

“…However, in other Northeast Thailand studies, strong associations have been found between the consumption of raw fish and CCA (Honjo et al, 2005;Songserm et al, 2012). Both these studies were conducted in the more northern parts of the region.…”

“…In the study by Poomphakwaen et al (2009), fruit consumption emerged from their multiple logistc regression analysis as a significant protective factor; vegetables were not a significant factor, even in their univariate analaysis. On the other hand, Songserm et al (2012) found that both vegetables and fruit were protective factors.…”

have been done to investigate the risk factors in this part of the region. We therefore conducted a hospital-based case-control study to investigate factors associated with CCA in a population of lower part of the northeast region. Materials and MethodsThis was a hospital-based, case-control study in which cases of CCA and matched controls were compared in terms of various potential risk factors for CCA.

“…Over the period 1981-2001 a variety of different surveys indicated that the national prevalence of OV infection had fallen from 63.6% to 9.6%, but the most recent a data indicate the prevalence rate in the Northeast region remains high at 16.6% and had not decreased over the previous decade . Whereas OV infection is usually asymptomatic, the organism has been classified as a type-1 carcinogen for many years (IARC, 1994) and is a major risk factor for the subsequent development of cholangiocarcinoma (Watana and Watana, 2002;Poomphakwaen et al, 2009;Songserm et al, 2012), which is a usually fatal form of liver cancer (Khan et al, 2005).…”

A liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrrini (OV), is the major cause of the high incidence of cholangiocarcinoma in North-eastern Thailand. The prevalence of OV infection remains high in various parts of the country, especially in wetland rural areas where a large proportion of the community work in agriculture and continue the traditional practice of eating raw or uncooked cyprinoid fish products. The national control program seems to have had little impact in many of these areas, and it has been difficult to make precise assessments of the overall effectiveness of the program. Therefore there is a need for a community-based approach to prevent infection with the parasite, ideally involving as many players as possible. Here we document an attempt to assess the best means to prevention on the basis of a community intervention in three villages in north-east Thailand, with participation of representatives of Health Promotion Hospitals of the Ministry of Public Health with dedicated staff, but also school teachers, independent government sponsored village health volunteers, and housewives responsible for cooking and diet selection. An action plan was followed, allowing detailed discussions of practical proposals, their introduction and then repeated reflection and further proposals at the individual village level.

Rapid changes in social and economic development have led to cancer becoming a major cause of national morbidity and mortality in Thailand. Cancer registries have been critical in documenting subnational cancer patterns and transitions in the country; with the establishment of six registries in northern Thailand, a comprehensive assessment of the scale and profile of cancer is now possible in the region. Cancers of the liver, lung, colorectum, breast and cervix were the major cancers 2008-2012, although variations in the profiles of cancer were observed, with a very high incidence of liver cancer seen among males in Phrae, corresponding to one in 11 men developing the disease in a lifetime. Based on data from Lampang and Chiang Mai 1993-2012, rates of lung and cervical cancer incidence have declined, while liver, colorectal and breast cancer incidence have been increasing up to 2012. A more detailed investigation of the incidence trends for specific cancer sites and subtypes at the local level are crucial to the monitoring and evaluation of the cancer control interventions implemented within the Thai national cancer control programme (NCCP). Priority should be given to extend the capacity of the new registries in northern Thailand, ensuring improvement in quality and utilization of the data to drive epidemiologic research and cancer control.
