A treelet transform analysis to relate nutrient patterns to the risk of hormonal receptor-defined breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-23)
Objective: Pattern analysis has emerged as a tool to depict the role of multiple
nutrients/foods in relation to health outcomes. The present study aimed at
extracting nutrient patterns with respect to breast cancer (BC) aetiology.<br>
Design: Nutrient patterns were derived with treelet transform (TT) and related to
BC risk. TT was applied to twenty-three log-transformed nutrient densities ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
