Few studies have examined the associations between dietary patterns and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or whether they differ by race. This was evaluated using data from a population-based case-control study (2002–2006) including 1,176 cases of head and neck SCC and 1,317 age-, race-, and gender-matched controls from central and eastern North Carolina whose diets had been assessed by food frequency questionnaire. Factor analysis identified 2 patterns of intake: 1) high consumption of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein and 2) high consumption of fried foods, high-fat and processed meats, and sweets. Associations were estimated using logistic regression, adjusting for matching factors and confounders. Heterogeneity by tumor site (oral/pharyngeal vs. laryngeal) and effect-measure modification were also evaluated. Reduced odds of head and neck SCC were found for the fruit, vegetable, and lean protein pattern (for highest quartile vs. lowest, odds ratio ¼ 0.53, 95% confidence interval: 0.39, 0.71). The fried foods, high-fat and processed meats, and sweets pattern was positively associated only with laryngeal cancer (odds ratio ¼ 2.12, 95% confidence interval: 1.21, 3.72). These findings underline the importance of a dietary pattern rich in fruits and vegetables and low in high-fat and processed meats and sweets for prevention of head and neck cancer. Cancers of the head and neck, which generally include squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the oral cavity, phar-ynx, and larynx, represent a significant cancer burden in the United States and worldwide (1, 2). In the United States alone, 40,250 diagnoses of oral and pharyngeal cancer and 12,360 diagnoses of laryngeal cancer are expected in the year 2012 (3). Incidence rates for these cancers are typically higher for men than for women; black men in particular have the greatest incidence of cancer at both sites (4). Tobacco and alcohol use remain the strongest behavioral risk factors for head and neck SCC (1, 2); however, the additional importance of dietary exposures is emerging (5). Although many investigators have noted reduced risks for consumption of fruits and vegetables, as well as their related micronutrients (6–8), only a few studies have explored the association between dietary patterns and head and neck SCC (9–14). Additionally, studies examining effect modification of diet by race, gender, or body size have been lacking, and these results may have significant implications for public health interventions. To investigate the association between dietary patterns and risk of head and neck SCC, we examined data from a …
