A comprehensive analysis of the androgen receptor gene and risk of breast cancer. Results from the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-09-20)
Introduction
Androgens have been hypothesised to influence risk of breast cancer through several possible mechanisms, including their conversion to estradiol or their binding to the oestrogen receptor and/or androgen receptor (AR) in the breast. Here, we report on the results of a large and comprehensive study of the association between genetic variation in the AR gene and risk of breast cancer ...
Multiple miscarriages are associated with the risk of ovarian cancer: results from the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
While the risk of ovarian cancer clearly reduces with each full-term pregnancy, the effect of incomplete pregnancies is unclear. We investigated whether incomplete pregnancies (miscarriages and induced abortions) are associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. This observational study was carried out in female participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
Coffee and tea consumption and risk of pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-31)
Introduction: Specific coffee subtypes and tea may impact risk of pre- and post-menopausal breast cancer differently.
We investigated the association between coffee (total, caffeinated, decaffeinated) and tea intake and risk of breast cancer.<p>
<p>Methods: A total of 335,060 women participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Nutrition and Cancer
(EPIC) Study, completed a dietary ...
Baseline and lifetime alcohol consumption and risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in the EPIC study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-27)
Background: Results from several cohort and case–control studies suggest a protective association between current alcohol
intake and risk of thyroid carcinoma, but the epidemiological evidence is not completely consistent and several questions remain
unanswered.<p>
<p>Methods: The association between alcohol consumption at recruitment and over the lifetime and risk of differentiated thyroid
carcinoma ...
Adiposity, hormone replacement therapy use and breast cancer risk by age and hormone receptor status: a large prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-14)
Introduction: Associations of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer with excess adiposity are reasonably well characterized; however, uncertainty remains regarding the association of body mass index (BMI) with hormonereceptor negative malignancies, and possible interactions by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use. Methods: Within the European EPIC cohort, Cox proportional hazards models were used ...
