Refined histopathological predictors of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status: a large-scale analysis of breast cancer characteristics from the BCAC, CIMBA, and ENIGMA consortia.
(BMC, 2014-12-23)INTRODUCTION: The distribution of histopathological features of invasive breast tumors in BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutation carriers differs from that of individuals with no known mutation. Histopathological features thus ... -
Regions of homozygosity as risk factors for multiple myeloma.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)Genomic regions of homozygosity (ROH), detectable in outbred populations, have been implicated as determinants of inherited risk. To examine whether ROH is associated with risk of multiple myeloma (MM), we performed ... -
Relationship between genetically determined telomere length and glioma risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2022-02-01)BACKGROUND: Telomere maintenance is increasingly recognized as being fundamental to glioma oncogenesis with longer leukocyte telomere length (LTL) reported to increase risk of glioma. To gain further insight into the ... -
Relationship of self-reported body size and shape with risk for prostate cancer: A UK case-control study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2020-09-17)INTRODUCTION: Previous evidence has suggested a relationship between male self-reported body size and the risk of developing prostate cancer. In this UK-wide case-control study, we have explored the possible association ... -
Reproductive profiles and risk of breast cancer subtypes: a multi-center case-only study.
(BMC, 2017-12-01)BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that reproductive factors are differentially associated with breast cancer (BC) risk by subtypes. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between reproductive factors ... -
Response to first vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with multiple myeloma.

Retrospective methods to estimate radiation dose at the site of breast cancer development after Hodgkin lymphoma radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-12-01)BACKGROUND: An increased risk of breast cancer following radiotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has now been robustly established. In order to estimate the dose-response relationship more accurately, and to aid clinical ... -
REVEL: An Ensemble Method for Predicting the Pathogenicity of Rare Missense Variants.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-10-06)The vast majority of coding variants are rare, and assessment of the contribution of rare variants to complex traits is hampered by low statistical power and limited functional data. Improved methods for predicting the ... -
Risk of breast cancer in men in relation to weight change: A national case-control study in England and Wales.
(WILEY, 2022-06-01)Breast cancer is uncommon in men and knowledge about its causation limited. Obesity is a risk factor but there has been no investigation of whether weight change is an independent risk factor, as it is in women. In a ... -
Risk of Meningioma in European Patients Treated With Growth Hormone in Childhood: Results From the SAGhE Cohort.
(ENDOCRINE SOC, 2019-03-01)CONTEXT: There has been concern that GH treatment of children might increase meningioma risk. Results of published studies have been inconsistent and limited. OBJECTIVE: To examine meningioma risks in relation to GH ... -
Risk of Second Cancer in Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivors and Influence of Family History.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2017-05-10)Purpose Although advances in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treatment have led to improved disease-free survival, this has been accompanied by an increased risk of second cancers. We sought to quantify the second cancer risks and ... -
Risk of second primary cancer following myeloid neoplasia and risk of myeloid neoplasia as second primary cancer: a nationwide, observational follow up study in Sweden.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-08-01)BACKGROUND: Although advances in the treatment of myeloid neoplasms have led to improved patient survival, this improvement has been accompanied by an increased risk of second primary cancer (ie, the risk of another cancer ... -
Risk of thyroid disorders in adult and childhood Hodgkin lymphoma survivors 40 years after treatment.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-02-23)Thyroid abnormalities are well reported following childhood treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Limited information exists for adult patients and after modern treatments. We analyzed risks of thyroid disorders in 237 ... -
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, natural menopause, and breast cancer risk: an international prospective cohort of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.
(BMC, 2020-01-16)BACKGROUND: The effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) on breast cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers is uncertain. Retrospective analyses have suggested a protective effect but may be substantially ... -
Risks of breast or ovarian cancer in BRCA1 or BRCA2 predictive test negatives: findings from the EMBRACE study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-12-01)PURPOSE: BRCA1/BRCA2 predictive test negatives are proven noncarriers of a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation that is carried by their relatives. The risk of developing breast cancer (BC) or epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in these women ... -
Risks of Breast, Ovarian, and Contralateral Breast Cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-06-20)IMPORTANCE: The clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers requires accurate, prospective cancer risk estimates. OBJECTIVES: To estimate age-specific risks of breast, ovarian, and contralateral breast cancer ... -
