Cancer oesophageal

Fusarium moniliforme sya verticillioides causes the so-called ear rot disease in maize and produces fumonisin B, (IB,), one of the most frequently detected mycotoxins in the food supply chain worldwide (Steyn, 1995). FBi can inhibit lipid formation, particularly in the liver. Fumonisins have been detected and investigated only relatively recently. Several structurally related forms of fumonisins (FBS) have been associated with human cancer (e.g. FB with oesophageal cancer) as well as with a host of problems in livestock fed with FB -contaminated feed (D Mello, 2003 Benbrook, 2005).

Anti-secretory treatment, by reducing the acid barrier to infection approximately doubles the risk of infective diarrhoea. Fears that treatment like H2 receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors would increase the risk of gastric cancer have not been realised. Raised frequencies of oesophageal cancer in patients taking proton pump inhibitors reflect underlying predisposition in Barrett s disease.
