Serum testosterone and prostate cancer in men with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants.
Dias, A; Brook, MN; Bancroft, EK; Page, EC; Chamberlain, A; et al. (WILEY, 2023-05-01)OBJECTIVES: The relation of serum androgens and the development of prostate cancer (PCa) is subject of debate. Lower total testosterone (TT) levels have been associated with increased PCa detection and worse pathological ... -
Shared heritability and functional enrichment across six solid cancers.
Jiang, X; Finucane, HK; Schumacher, FR; Schmit, SL; Tyrer, JP; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-25)Quantifying the genetic correlation between cancers can provide important insights into the mechanisms driving cancer etiology. Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total ... -
The BARCODE1 Pilot: a feasibility study of using germline single nucleotide polymorphisms to target prostate cancer screening.
Benafif, S; Ni Raghallaigh, H; McGrowder, E; Saunders, EJ; Brook, MN; et al. (WILEY, 2021-07-02)OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility and uptake of a community-based prostate cancer (PCa) screening programme selecting men according to their genetic risk of PCa. To assess the uptake of PCa screening investigations by ... -
The Premenopausal Breast Cancer Collaboration: A Pooling Project of Studies Participating in the National Cancer Institute Cohort Consortium.
Nichols, HB; Schoemaker, MJ; Wright, LB; McGowan, C; Brook, MN; et al. (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 ... -
Trans-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of prostate cancer identifies new susceptibility loci and informs genetic risk prediction.
Conti, DV; Darst, BF; Moss, LC; Saunders, EJ; Sheng, X; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-01-04)Prostate cancer is a highly heritable disease with large disparities in incidence rates across ancestry populations. We conducted a multiancestry meta-analysis of prostate cancer genome-wide association studies (107,247 ...
