Tamoxifen and raloxifene have limited patient acceptance for primary prevention of breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors prevent more contralateral cancers cause fewer side effects than tamoxifen in patients with early-stage cancer.In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial exemestane designed to detect 65% relative reduction invasive cancer, eligible postmenopausal women 35 years age or older had at least one the following risk factors: 60 older; Gail 5-year score greater 1.66%...
Previous evidence indicates that adjuvant, short-course androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improves metastasis-free survival when given with primary radiotherapy for intermediate-risk and high-risk localised prostate cancer. However, the value of ADT postoperative after radical prostatectomy is unclear.
ABSTRACT The novel PGMY L1 consensus primer pair is more sensitive than the MY09 and MY11 mix for detection typing with PCR of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in genital specimens. We assessed diagnostic yield primers HPV by comparing results obtained PGMY09/PGMY11 MY09/MY11/HMB01 on 299 samples. Amplicons generated were typed line blot assay (PGMY-line blot), while amplicons degenerate pool detected type-specific radiolabeled probes a dot (standard test). Cervicovaginal lavage samples ( N =...
<h3>Objectives</h3> Long-term night work has been suggested as a risk factor for breast cancer; however, additional studies with more comprehensive methods of exposure assessment to capture the diversity shift patterns are needed. As well, few previous have considered role hormone receptor subtype. <h3>Methods</h3> Relationships between and cancer were examined among 1134 cases 1179 controls, frequency-matched by age in Vancouver, British Columbia, Kingston, Ontario. Self-reported lifetime...
The authors estimated plausible ranges of the probability human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission per coital act among newly forming couples by using stochastic computer simulation. Comparative empirical data were obtained in 1996–2001 from a cohort study female university students Montreal, Canada. Female prevalence and frequency sexual intercourse condom use set equal to those cohort. Simulations included 240 combinations male prevalence, relative risk for protected versus unprotected sex,...
Long-term, night shiftwork has been identified as a potential carcinogenic risk factor. It is hypothesized that increased light at exposure during reduces melatonin production, which associated with cancer risk. Sleep duration to influence both levels and risk, it suggested sleep could be used proxy for production. Finally, physical activity shown reduce laboratory studies indicate may levels. A cross-sectional study of exposure, duration, activity, was conducted among 61 female rotating...

Previous findings regarding risk factors for human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence, other than viral determinants, identified from prospective cohort studies have been inconsistent in part because study designs differed with respect to differing HPV detection methods and varying lengths of follow-up time. Therefore, the objectives this were continue search epidemiologic persistent cervical infections determine what behaviors between those women transient who cannot clear their type-specific...
Abstract Background: Shift work has been identified as a risk factor for several cancer sites in recent years, with melatonin potential intermediate on the proposed causal pathway. This study examined influence of nighttime light exposure levels among 123 rotating shift nurses. Methods: Nurses working schedule (two 12-hour days, two nights, and five days off) were recruited participated day night both summer winter seasons. Over each 48-hour period, nurses wore data logger provided urine...
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between categories age at natural menopause (ANM) and gait speed (slowness) grip strength (weakness), common measures physical functioning in older women. Methods: We analyzed data from Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, which included participants seven cities across Canada collected 2012. sample restricted women who reported have entered (N = 9,920). Women had a hysterectomy before were excluded since surgical...
Exemestane, a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, reduced invasive breast cancer incidence by 65% among 4,560 postmenopausal women randomly assigned to exemestane (25 mg per day) compared with placebo in the National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) Clinical Trials Group MAP.3 (Mammary Prevention 3) trial, but effects on quality life (QOL) were not fully described.Menopause-specific and health-related QOL assessed using four Menopause-Specific Quality Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) domains eight...
