Impact of atopy on risk of glioma: a Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMC, 2018-03-15)
BACKGROUND: An inverse relationship between allergies with glioma risk has been reported in several but not all epidemiological observational studies. We performed an analysis of genetic variants associated with atopy to ...
Domestic light at night and breast cancer risk: a prospective analysis of 105 000 UK women in the Generations Study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-02-20)
BACKGROUND: Circadian disruption caused by exposure to light at night (LAN) has been proposed as a risk factor for breast cancer and a reason for secular increases in incidence. Studies to date have largely been ecological ...
Circulating anti-Müllerian hormone and breast cancer risk: A study in ten prospective cohorts.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)
A strong positive association has been observed between circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a biomarker of ovarian reserve, and breast cancer risk in three prospective studies. Confirming this association is important ...
Night shift work and risk of breast cancer in women: the Generations Study cohort.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-16)
BACKGROUND: It is plausible that night shift work could affect breast cancer risk, possibly by melatonin suppression or circadian clock disruption, but epidemiological evidence is inconclusive. METHODS: Using serial ...
Ultrasound Tomography Evaluation of Breast Density: A Comparison With Noncontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-06-01)
OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound tomography (UST) is an emerging whole-breast 3-dimensional imaging technique that obtains quantitative tomograms of speed of sound of the entire breast. The imaged parameter is the speed of sound ...
Menopausal hormone therapy and breast cancer: what is the true size of the increased risk?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-08-23)
BACKGROUND: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) increases breast cancer risk; however, most cohort studies omit MHT use after enrolment and many infer menopausal age. METHODS: We used information from serial questionnaires ...
The Premenopausal Breast Cancer Collaboration: A Pooling Project of Studies Participating in the National Cancer Institute Cohort Consortium.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)
Breast cancer is a leading cancer diagnosis among premenopausal women around the world. Unlike rates in postmenopausal women, incidence rates of advanced breast cancer have increased in recent decades for premenopausal ...
Childhood body size and pubertal timing in relation to adult mammographic density phenotype.
(BMC, 2017-02-07)
BACKGROUND: An earlier age at onset of breast development and longer time between pubertal stages has been implicated in breast cancer risk. It is not clear whether associations of breast cancer risk with puberty or ...
Length of FMR1 repeat alleles within the normal range does not substantially affect the risk of early menopause.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-10-01)
STUDY QUESTION: Is the length of FMR1 repeat alleles within the normal range associated with the risk of early menopause? SUMMARY ANSWER: The length of repeat alleles within the normal range does not substantially affect ...
Circulating Vitamin D and Colorectal Cancer Risk: An International Pooling Project of 17 Cohorts.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Experimental and epidemiological studies suggest a protective role for vitamin D in colorectal carcinogenesis, but evidence is inconclusive. Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations that minimize ...
