Pre-diagnostic concordance with the WCRF/AICR guidelines and survival in European colorectal cancer patients: A cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-07)
Background: Cancer survivors are advised to follow lifestyle recommendations on diet, physical activity, and body
fatness proposed by the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute of Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) for
cancer prevention. Previous studies have demonstrated that higher concordance with these recommendations
measured using an index score (the WCRF/AICR score) was associated with ...
Genetic risk variants associated with in situ breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-13)
Introduction: Breast cancer in situ (BCIS) diagnoses, a precursor lesion for invasive breast cancer, comprise about 20 % of all breast cancers (BC) in countries with screening programs. Family history of BC is considered one of the strongest risk factors for BCIS.<p><p>Methods: To evaluate the association of BC susceptibility loci with BCIS risk, we genotyped 39 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), ...
Reproductive factors and risk of mortality in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition; a cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-30)
Background: Reproductive events are associated with important physiologic changes, yet little is known about
how reproductive factors influence long-term health in women. Our objective was to assess the relation of reproductive
characteristics with all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk.
<p>Methods: The analysis was performed within the European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
Alcohol intake and breast cancer in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-09)
Alcohol intake has been associated to breast cancer in pre and postmenopausal women; however results are inconclusive regarding tumor hormonal receptor status, and potential modifying factors like age at start drinking. Therefore, we investigated the relation between alcohol intake and the risk of breast cancer using prospective observational data from the European Prospective
Investigation into ...
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 ...
An epidemiologic risk prediction model for ovarian cancer in Europe: The EPIC study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-05)
Background: Ovarian cancer has a high case-fatality ratio, largely due to late diagnosis. Epidemiologic risk prediction models could help identify
women at increased risk who may benefit from targeted prevention measures, such as screening or chemopreventive agents.<p>
<p>Methods: We built an ovarian cancer risk prediction model with epidemiologic risk factors from 202 206 women in the European ...
