Dietary flavonoid intake and colorectal cancer risk in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC) cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-22)
Flavonoids have been shown to inhibit colon cancer cell proliferation in vitro and protect against colorectal carcinogenesis in animal models. However, epidemiological evidence on the potential role of flavonoid intake in colorectal cancer (CRC) development remains sparse and inconsistent. We evaluated the association between dietary intakes of total flavonoids and their subclasses and risk of ...
Pre-diagnostic meat and fibre intakes in relation to colorectal cancer survival in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)
Circulating copper and zinc levels and risk of hepatobiliary cancers in Europeans
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-02)
Background:<br>Copper and zinc are essential micronutrients and cofactors of many enzymatic reactions that may be involved in liver-cancer development. We aimed to assess pre-diagnostic circulating levels of copper, zinc and their ratio (Cu/Zn) in relation to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) and gall bladder and biliary tract (GBTC) cancers.<br>Methods:<br>A nested ...
Mediterranean diet and risk of pancreatic cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-07)
Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been proposed as a means for cancer prevention, but little evidence has been accrued regarding its potential to prevent pancreatic cancer. We investigated the association between the adherence to the MD and pancreatic cancer risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.
<br>Methods: Over half a million ...
Dietary advanced glycation end-products and colorectal cancer risk in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC) study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-08)
Dietary advanced glycation end-products (dAGEs) have been hypothesized to be associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) by promoting inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and oxidative stress in the colonic epithelium. However, evidence from prospective
cohort studies is scarce and inconclusive. We evaluated CRC risk associated with the intake of
dAGEs in the European Prospective ...
Association of Selenoprotein and Selenium Pathway Genotypes with Risk of Colorectal Cancer and Interaction with Selenium Status
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-25)
Selenoprotein genetic variations and suboptimal selenium (Se) levels may contribute to the
risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) development. We examined the association between CRC risk and
genotype for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in selenoprotein and Se metabolic pathway
genes. <i>Illumina Goldengate</i> assays were designed and resulted in the genotyping of 1040 variants
in 154 genes ...
Timing of eating across ten European countries - Results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-17)
<p><i>Objective</i>: To examine timing of eating across ten European countries.</p>
<p><i>Design</i>: Cross-sectional analysis of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study using standardized 24 h diet recalls collected during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined food consumption occasions were assessed during the recall interview. We present time of consumption ...
Pre-diagnostic copper and zinc biomarkers and colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Preprint; Manuskript, 2017-07-01)
Adequate intake of copper and zinc, two essential micronutrients, are important for antioxidant functions. Their imbalance may have implications for development of diseases like colorectal cancer (CRC), where oxidative stress is thought to be etiologically involved. As evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies is lacking, we conducted a case-control study nested within the European Prospective ...
Dietary Intake of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and Mortality among Individuals with Colorectal Cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-10)
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) may promote oxidative stress and inflammation
and have been linked to multiple chronic diseases, including cancer. However, the association of
AGEs with mortality after colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis has not been previously investigated.
Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios and corresponding 95% confidence ...
Prediagnostic Blood Selenium Status and Mortality among Patients with Colorectal Cancer in Western European Populations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-22)
A higher selenium (Se) status has been shown to be associated with lower risk for colorectal
cancer (CRC), but the importance of Se in survival after CRC diagnosis is not well studied. The
associations of prediagnostic circulating Se status (as indicated by serum Se and selenoprotein P
(SELENOP) measurements) with overall and CRC-specific mortality were estimated using multivariable Cox proportional ...
