Endometriosis is a risk factor for epithelial ovarian cancer; however, whether this extends to all invasive histological subtypes or borderline tumours not clear. We undertook an international collaborative study assess the association between endometriosis and of cancer.

Previous studies that showed an association between smoking and adenocarcinomas of the esophagus esophagogastric junction were limited in their ability to assess differences by tumor site, sex, dose-response, duration cigarette cessation.We used primary data from 10 population-based case-control two cohort Barrett's Esophagus Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Consortium. Analyses restricted white non-Hispanic men women. Patients classified as having esophageal adenocarcinoma (n = 1540), junctional...
Previous studies suggest an association between obesity and oesophageal (OA) oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas (OGJA). However, these have been limited in their ability to assess whether the effects of vary by gender or presence gastro-oesophageal reflux (GERD) symptoms.
Whilst previous studies have reported that higher BMI increases a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer, associations for the different histological subtypes not been well defined. As prevalence obesity has increased dramatically, and classification histology improved in last decade, we sought to examine association pooled analysis recent participating Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium. We evaluated between (recent, maximum young adulthood) cancer using original data from 15...
Abstract Breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers are hormone-related may have a shared genetic basis, but this has not been investigated systematically by genome-wide association (GWA) studies. Meta-analyses combining the largest GWA meta-analysis data sets for these totaling 112,349 cases 116,421 controls of European ancestry, all together in pairs, identified at P < 10−8 seven new cross-cancer loci: three associated with susceptibility to (rs17041869/2q13/BCL2L11;...
Radiation resistance limits radiotherapy efficacy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The tumor microenvironment, particularly adipocytes, plays a role promoting cancer progression. Extracellular vesicles and microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression hold prognostic potential for carcinoma. Elucidating radioresistance mechanisms identifying radiosensitization targets can help enhance cancer. To investigate the of miRNAs derived from adipocyte exosomes as markers ESCC. Free...
The authors conducted a case-control study among the multi-ethnic population of Hawaii to examine role dietary soy, fiber, and related foods nutrients on risk endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer cases (n = 332) diagnosed between 1985 1993 were identified from five main ethnic groups in state (Japanese, Caucasian, Native Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese) through rapid-reporting system Tumor Registry. Population controls 511) selected randomly lists female Oahu residents matched age (±2.5 years)...
Increased risk of prostate cancer in men with a family history the disease has been observed consistently epidemiologic studies. However, most studies have confined to white men; little is known about familial aggregation populations unusually high incidence, such as African Americans, or low Asian-Americans. The authors report results from population-based case-control study among blacks, whites, and Asian-Americans United States Canada. Controls were matched cases on age (5-year groups),...
