Due predominantly to cigarette smoking, lung cancer is the leading cancer-related cause of death worldwide. Cruciferous vegetables may reduce lung cancer risk. The association between intake of cruciferous vegetables and lung cancer risk was investigated in the CLUE II study, a community-based cohort established in 1989. We matched 274 incident cases of lung cancer diagnosed from 1990–2005 to 1089 cancer-free controls on age, sex, and cigarette smoking. Dietary information was collected at baseline. Multivariable odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using conditional logistic regression. Intake of cruciferous vegetables were inversely associated with lung cancer risk (highest-versus-lowest fourth: OR Q4vsQ1=0. 57; 95%CI = 0.38–0.85; p-trend=0.01). The inverse associations held true for former smokers (ORQ4vsQ1=0.49; 95%CI = 0.27–0.92; p-trend=0.05) and current smokers (ORQ4vsQ1)= 0.52; 95%CI = 0.29–0.95; p-trend=0.02). After careful control of cigarette smoking, higher intake of cruciferous vegetable was associated with lower risk of lung cancer. The observed inversed association coupled with the accumulating evidence suggests that cruciferous vegetables are inversely associated lung cancer risk and this association seems to hold true beyond the confounding effects of cigarette smoking.
