      Background: Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Programme for the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans has been criticized for several of its evaluations, and also for the approach used to perform these evaluations. Some critics have claimed that failures of IARC Working Groups to recognize study weaknesses and biases of Working Group members have led to inappropriate ...
    • Mammographic density and interval cancers in mammographic screening: Moving towards more personalized screening 

      Larsen, Marthe; Lynge, Elsebeth; Lee, Christoph I.; Lång, Kristina; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-21)
      Purpose: The European Society on Breast Imaging has recommended supplemental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) every two to four years for women with mammographically dense breasts. This may not be feasible in many screening programs. Also, the European Commission Initiative on Breast Cancer suggests not implementing screening with MRI. By analyzing interval cancers and time from screening to ...
    • Occupational exposure to solvents and bladder cancer: A population-based case control study in Nordic countries 

      Hadkhale, Kishor; Martinsen, Jan Ivar; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Kjærheim, Kristina; Sparén, Pär; Tryggvadottir, Laufey; Lynge, Elsebeth; Pukkala, Eero (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-29)
      The objective of the study was to assess the relationship between exposure to selected solvents and the risk of bladder cancer. This study is based on the Nordic Occupational Cancer (NOCCA) database and comprises 113,343 cases of bladder cancer diagnosed in Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden between 1961 and 2005 and 566,715 population controls matched according to country, sex and birth year. ...
    • Occupational variation in incidence of bladder cancer: A comparison of population-representative cohorts from Nordic countries and Canada

Anne; Tjepkema, Michael; Peters, Paul A.; Pukkala, Eero (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-04)
      Objectives:<br>The objective of this study was to compare occupational variation of the risk of bladder cancer in the Nordic countries and Canada.<br>Methods:<br>In the Nordic Occupational Cancer study (NOCCA), 73 653 bladder cancer cases were observed during follow-up of 141.6 million person-years. In the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC), 8170 cases were observed during ...
    • Overdiagnosis in screening mammography in Denmark: population based cohort study 

      Njor, Sissel Helle; Olsen, Anne Helene; Blichert-Toft, Mogens; Schwartz, Walter; Vejborg, Ilse; Lynge, Elsebeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-02-26)
      Objective To use data from two longstanding, population based screening programmes to study overdiagnosis in screening mammography.<p> <p>Design Population based cohort study. <p>Setting Copenhagen municipality (from 1991) and Funen County (from 1993), Denmark. <p>Participants 57 763 women targeted by organised screening, aged 56-69 when the screening programmes started, and followed up to ...
    • Risk of early-onset prostate cancer associated with occupation in the Nordic countries 

      Barry, Kathryn Hughes; Martinsen, Jan Ivar; Alavanja, Michael C.R.; Andreotti, Gabriella; Blair, Aaron; Hansen, Johnni; Kjærheim, Kristina; Koutros, Stella; Lynge, Elsebeth; Sparén, Pär; Tryggvadóttir, Laufey; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Berndt, Sonja I.; Pukkala, Eero (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-10)
      Background: <br>Early-onset prostate cancer is often more aggressive and may have a different etiology than later-onset prostate cancer, but has been relatively little studied to date. We evaluated occupation in relation to early-onset and later-onset prostate cancer in a large pooled study. <br>Methods: <br>We used occupational information from census data in five Nordic countries from 1960-1990. ...
    • Tetrachloroethylene exposure and bladder cancer risk: A meta-analysis of dry-cleaning-worker studies

    • Variation in nordic work-related cancer risks after adjustment for alcohol and tobacco 

      Kjærheim, Kristina; Haldorsen, Tor; Lynge, Elsebeth; Martinsen, Jan Ivar; Pukkala, Eero; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Grimsrud, Tom Kristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-06)
      Background: <br>Alcohol and tobacco strongly increases the risk of cancers of the tongue, mouth, pharynx, larynx, and oesophagus, and are also established risk factors for cancer of the liver, colon, and rectum. It is well documented that these habits are unequally distributed among occupational groups. Most occupational cohort studies lack information on these potentially important confounders, ...
