Lung cancers attributable to environmental tobacco smoke and air pollution in non-smokers in different European countries : a prospective study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-02-15)
Background: Several countries are discussing new legislation on the ban of smoking in public
places, and on the acceptable levels of traffic-related air pollutants. It is therefore useful to estimate
the burden of disease associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution.
Methods: We have estimated exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) and to air
pollution in never smokers and ex-smokers ...
Genetic polymorphisms of the GNRH1 and GNRHR genes and risk of breast cancer in the National Cancer Institute Breast and Prostate Cancer Cohort Consortium (BPC3)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-07-29)
Background: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH1) triggers the release of follicle
stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary. Genetic variants in the gene
encoding GNRH1 or its receptor may influence breast cancer risk by modulating production of
ovarian steroid hormones. We studied the association between breast cancer risk and
polymorphisms in genes that code for GNRH1 ...
