Diagnostic radiological examinations and risk of intracranial tumours in adults-findings from the Interphone Study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-05-09)
BACKGROUND: Exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation is among the few well-established brain tumour risk factors. We used data from the Interphone study to evaluate the effects of exposure to low-dose radiation from ...
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 ...
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 ...
Maternal breast cancer risk in relation to birthweight and gestation of her offspring.
(BMC, 2018-10-05)
BACKGROUND: Parity and age at first pregnancy are well-established risk factors for breast cancer, but the effects of other characteristics of pregnancies are uncertain and the literature is inconsistent. METHODS: In a ...
Association of genetic susceptibility variants for type 2 diabetes with breast cancer risk in women of European ancestry.
(SPRINGER, 2016-05-01)
PURPOSE: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been reported to be associated with an elevated risk of breast cancer. It is unclear, however, whether this association is due to shared genetic factors. METHODS: We constructed a genetic ...
