The association of menstrual and reproductive factors with upper gastrointestinal tract cancers in the NIH‐AARP cohort

In most populations, incidence rates of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract cancers (head and neck, esophagus, and stomach) are higher among men than among women. Established risk factors do not appear to explain these differences, suggesting a possible role for sex hormones.
