      Botteri, Edoardo; Ferrari, Pietro; Roswall, Nina; Tjønneland, Anne; Hjartåker, Anette; Huerta, José María; Fortner, Renée Turzanski; Trichopoulou, Antonia; Karakatsani, Anna; La Vecchia, Carlo; Pala, Valeria; Pérez-Cornago, Aurora; Sonestedt, Emily; Liedberg, Fredrik; Overvad, Kim; Sánchez, María-José; Gram, Inger Torhild; Stepien, Magdalena; Trijsburg, Laura; Ljungberg, Börje; Johansson, Mikael B.; Kühn, Tilman; Panico, Salvatore; Tumino, Rosario; Bueno-De-Mesquita, Hendrik Bastiaan; Weiderpass, Elisabete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-31)
      Findings on the association between alcohol consumption and bladder cancer are inconsistent. We investigated that association in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort. We included 476,160 individuals mostly aged 35-70 years, enrolled in ten countries and followed for 13.9 years on average. Hazard ratios (HR) for developing urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC; 1,802 ...

      Löding, Sebastian; Andersson, Ulrika; Kaaks, Rudolf; Schulze, Matthias B.; Pala, Valeria; Urbarova, Ilona Halva; Amiano, Pilar; Colorado-Yohar, Sandra M.; Guevara, Marcela; Heath, Alicia K.; Chatziioannou, Anastasia Chrysovalantou; Johansson, Mattias; Nyberg, Lars Erik; Antti, Henrik; Björkblom, Benny; Melin, Beatrice (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-31)
      Genetic and metabolic changes in tissue and blood are reported to occur several years before glioma diagnosis. Since gliomas are currently detected late, a liquid biopsy for early detection could affect the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Here, we present a nested case-control study of 550 prediagnostic glioma cases and 550 healthy controls from the Northern Sweden Health and Disease ...

      Obesity has been associated with upper gastrointestinal cancers; however, there are limited prospective data on associations by subtype/subsite. Obesity can impact hormonal factors, which have been hypothesized to play a role in these cancers. We investigated anthropometric and reproductive factors in relation to esophageal and gastric cancer by subtype and subsite for 476,160 participants from the ...

      BACKGROUND: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) exhibit significantly increased chronic diseases and premature death. Abnormalities in DNA methylation are associated with development of chronic diseases and reduced life expectancy. We investigated the hypothesis that anti-cancer treatments are associated with long-term DNA methylation changes that could be key drivers of adverse late health ...

      Adult height and sitting height may reflect genetic and environmental factors, including early life nutrition, physical and social environments. Previous studies have reported divergent associations for height and chronic disease mortality, with positive associations observed for cancer mortality but inverse associations for circulatory disease mortality. Sitting height might be more strongly ...
