Correlates of circulating ovarian cancer early detection markers and their contribution to discrimination of early detection models: results from the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-20)
Background:
Ovarian cancer early detection markers CA125, CA15.3, HE4, and CA72.4 vary between healthy women,
limiting their utility for screening.
<br>Methods:
We evaluated cross-sectional relationships between lifestyle and reproductive factors and these markers
among controls (
n
= 1910) from a nested case-control study in the European Prospective Investigation into
Cancer and Nutrition ...
Association of menopausal characteristics and risk of coronary heart disease: A pan-European case-cohort analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-22)
<i>Background</i>
- Earlier age at menopause has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the shape of association and role of established cardiovascular risk factors remain unclear. Therefore, we examined the associations between menopausal characteristics and CHD risk; the shape of the association between age at menopause and CHD risk; and the extent to which these ...
Development and validation of circulating CA125 prediction models in postmenopausal women
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-26)
<i>Background</i>
- Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125) is currently the best available ovarian cancer screening biomarker. However, CA125 has been limited by low sensitivity and specificity in part due to normal variation between individuals. Personal characteristics that influence CA125 could be used to improve its performance as screening biomarker.<p><p>
<i>Methods</i>
- We developed and validated ...
Prospective analysis of circulating metabolites and breast cancer in EPIC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-24)
<i>Background</i> - Metabolomics is a promising molecular tool to identify novel etiologic pathways leading to cancer. Using a targeted approach, we prospectively investigated the associations between metabolite concentrations in plasma and breast cancer risk.<p>
<p><i>Methods</i> - A nested case-control study was established within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer cohort, which ...
Menstrual factors, reproductive history, hormone use, and urothelial carcinoma risk: A prospective study in the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-28)
<p>Background: Urothelial carcinoma is the predominant (95%) bladder cancer subtype in industrialized nations. Animal and epidemiologic human studies suggest that hormonal factors may influence urothelial carcinoma risk.
<p>Methods: We used an analytic cohort of 333,919 women from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Cohort. Associations between hormonal factors and ...
Serologic markers of Chlamydia trachomatis and other sexually transmitted infections and subsequent ovarian cancer risk: Results from the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-03)
A substantial proportion of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) arises in the fallopian tube and other epithelia of the upper genital tract; these epithelia may incur damage and neoplastic transformation after sexually transmitted infections (STI) and pelvic inflammatory disease. We investigated the hypothesis that past STI infection, particularly Chlamydia trachomatis, is associated with higher EOC ...
Insulin-like growth factor I and risk of epithelial invasive ovarian cancer by tumour characteristics: Results from the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-04)
Background: Prospective studies on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk are inconclusive.
Data suggest risk associations vary by tumour characteristics.<p>
<p>Methods: We conducted a nested case–control study in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
to evaluate IGF-I concentrations and EOC risk by tumour characteristics ...
Reproductive factors and epithelial ovarian cancer survival in the EPIC cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-10)
Background: Reproductive factors influence the risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), but little is known about their
association with survival. We tested whether prediagnostic reproductive factors influenced EOC-specific survival among 1025
invasive EOC cases identified in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, which included
521 330 total ...
