Receptor‐defined subtypes of breast cancer represent distinct types and have differences in risk factors. Whether the two main hormonal forms oral contraceptives (OCs); i.e. progestin‐only (POC) combined (COC), are differentially associated with these not well known. The aim our study was to assess effect POC COC use on hormone receptor‐defined premenopausal women a prospective population‐based cohort – Norwegian Women Cancer Study (NOWAC). Information OC collected from 74,862 at baseline....
Abstract Background Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is associated with an increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, predominantly the luminal A-like subtype. The impact MHT on deaths from cancer subtypes less understood. This study aimed to explore associations between use and incidence, mortality, survival intrinsic-like subtypes. Methods Data 160,881 participants self-reported prospective Norwegian Women Cancer Study were analyzed. Among them, 7,844 incident cases, 721...
The association between reproductive factors and risk of cutaneous melanoma (CM) is unclear. We investigated this issue in the Norwegian Women Cancer cohort study.To examine age at menarche, menstrual cycle length, parity, first last birth, menopausal status, breastfeeding duration length ovulatory life, CM risk, overall by histological subtypes anatomical site.We followed 165 712 women aged 30-75 years inclusion from 1991-2007 to end 2015. Multivariable Cox regression was used estimate...

Abstract Background Body fatness is a dynamic exposure throughout life. To provide more insight into the association between body mass index (BMI) and postmenopausal breast cancer, we aimed to examine age at onset, duration, intensity, trajectories of in adulthood relation risk cancer subtypes. Methods Based on self-reported anthropometry prospective Norwegian Women Cancer Study, calculated intensity overweight obesity using linear mixed-effects models. BMI were modeled group-based...

Melanoma is the most severe form of skin cancer and in 2012 it accounted for 232,000 new cases 55,000 deaths worldwide. The important risk factors melanoma are exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sun, indoor tanning, fair complexion, presence many nevi (moles) freckles, light hair reaction sun. Female sex hormones such as estrogen progestin have also been suggested play a role development due fact that more common among females than males until age menopause, while opposite true after...
