Abstract Background: Several previous studies have found inverse associations between glioma susceptibility and a history of allergies or other atopic conditions. Some evidence indicates that respiratory are likely to be particularly relevant with regard risk. Using data from the Glioma International Case-Control Study (GICC), we examined effects conditions on Methods: The GICC contains detailed information for 4,533 cases 4,171 controls, recruited 14 study sites across five countries....
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Despite previous research, prognostic factors for ependymoma remain relatively controversial. The purpose of our study was to examine demographic, clinical, and tumor attributes as potential predictors survival using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) program data (1973–2007). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> All (ICD-O-3 code 9391) anaplastic cases 9392) with complete (n = 2,369 n 319, respectively) were included...
Abstract By late April 2020, public discourse in the United States had shifted toward idea of using more targeted case-based mitigation tactics (eg, contact tracing) to combat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission while allowing for safe “reopening” society, an effort reduce social, economic, and political ramifications associated with stricter approaches. Expanded tracing-testing efforts were touted as a key solution that would allow precision approach, thus preventing economies...
Objective Geographic and racial disparities may contribute to variation in the incidence outcomes of HIV-associated cancers United States. Method Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) database, we analyzed Kaposi sarcoma (KS) survival by race geographic region during combined antiretroviral therapy era. Reported cases KS men from 2000 2013 were obtained 17 SEER cancer registries. Overall age-standardized rates calculated stratified region. We evaluated trends using joinpoint...
Decades of research have established only a few etiological factors for glioma, which is rare and highly fatal brain cancer. Common methodological challenges among glioma studies include small sample sizes, heterogeneity tumor subtypes, retrospective exposure assessment. Here, we briefly describe the Glioma International Case-Control (GICC) Study (recruitment, 2010–2013), study being conducted by Genetic Epidemiology Consortium that integrates data from multiple collection sites, uses common...
Several studies have shown a decrease in glioma risk associated with personal history of allergic conditions and the medications used to treat symptoms. However, few been able examine within histological subgroups glioma. Case-control data from M. D. Anderson Cancer Center University California, San Francisco were pooled conduct analysis stratified by subtype. A prediction model considering inflammation-related variables antihistamine use was built using logistic regression. Of subtypes...
Among men in the U.S., prostate cancer is most common and second leading cause of death. Despite its prevalence, there are few established risk factors for cancer. Some studies have found that intake certain foods/nutrients may be associated with risk, but accounted how metabolic interact to influence bioavailable nutrient levels subsequent disease risk.The composition gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome metabolism dietary compounds nutrients (e.g., plant phenols, calcium, choline) relevant...
Abstract Varicella zoster virus ( VZV ) is a neurotropic α ‐herpesvirus that causes chickenpox and establishes life‐long latency in the cranial nerve dorsal root ganglia of host. To date, only consistently reported to have an inverse association with glioma. The Glioma International Case‐Control Study GICC large, multisite consortium data on 4533 cases 4171 controls collected across five countries. Here, we utilized confirm previously associations between history glioma risk one largest...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution glioma-related seizures and seizure control at time tumor diagnosis with respect histologic subtypes, treatment patient characteristics, compare history preceding (or enrollment) between glioma patients healthy controls. Glioma International Case Control (GICC) risk factor questionnaire collected information on demographics, past medical/medication history, occupational history. Cases from eight centers were also asked detailed...
Here, we present 11.5 years of monthly treatment statistics showing an overall intake 5127 infected dogs between June 2008 and December 2019, as well more detailed datasets from recent, less protracted time periods for the examination mortality risk, seasonality, resource requirements in mass canine parvovirus (CPV) a private animal shelter. The total survival rate animals during study period was 86.6% (
Abstract Purpose: Previous literature provides some evidence that atopic diseases, IgE levels, and inflammatory gene polymorphisms may be associated with risk of glioblastoma. The purpose this study was to investigate the effects certain single nucleotide (SNP) on patient survival. Malignant gliomas are most common type primary brain tumor in adults, however, few prognostic factors have been identified. Experimental Design: Using 694 incident adult glioma cases identified between 2001 2006...
Longitudinal studies of cats naturally infected with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are important for understanding disease outcomes. Levels p27 antigen and copy numbers proviral DNA have been associated FeLV-infection courses. The purpose this prospective study was to establish cutoff values concentration load that distinguished high positive from low groups evaluate an association survival. At enrollment, 254 were tested by point-of-care microtiter plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inflammation-related genes have previously been shown to alter risks of developing various cancers. However, the effects such SNPs on glioma risk remain unclear. We used a multistrategic approach elucidate relationship between risk, asthma/allergies, and 23 literature-based functional 11 inflammation genes. Genotyping was conducted 373 histologically confirmed adult patients 365 cancer-free controls from Harris County Brain Tumor Study. Deviations...
The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma the anus, anal canal, and anorectum (SCCA) has increased over time. However, there are still no national guidelines on screening for SCCA among high-risk populations. Providers at University California, San Francisco have been forefront providing dysplasia screening. To determine whether such a program allows earlier detection abnormalities consequently, improves patient survival, we conducted an ecological study using data from Surveillance,...
