Combined impact of healthy lifestyle factors on colorectal cancer: A large European cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Consumption of dairy products and colorectal cancer in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background: Prospective studies have consistently reported lower colorectal cancer risks associated with higher intakes of
total dairy products, total milk and dietary calcium. However, less is known about whether the inverse associations vary for
individual dairy products with differing fat contents.
Materials and Methods: In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), ...
Nutritional quality of food as represented by the FSAm-NPS nutrient profiling system underlying the Nutri-Score label and cancer risk in Europe: Results from the EPIC prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-18)
<p><i>Background - </i>Helping consumers make healthier food choices is a key issue for the prevention of cancer and other diseases. In many countries, political authorities are considering the implementation of a simplified labelling system to reflect the nutritional quality of food products. The Nutri-Score, a five-colour nutrition label, is derived from the Nutrient Profiling System of the British ...
Fiber intake modulates the association of alcohol intake with breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-06)
Alcohol intake has been related to an increased risk of breast cancer (BC) while dietary fiber intake has been inversely associated to BC risk. A beneficial effect of fibers on ethanol carcinogenesis through their impact on estrogen levels is still controversial. We investigated the role of dietary fiber as a modifying factor of the association of alcohol and BC using data from the European Prospective ...
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 ...
Heterogeneity of colorectal cancer risk factors by anatomical subsite in 10 European countries: A multinational cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-26)
<i>Background & Aims</i>
- Colorectal cancer located at different anatomical subsites may have distinct etiologies and risk factors. Previous studies that have examined this hypothesis have yielded inconsistent results, possibly because most studies have been of insufficient size to identify heterogeneous associations with precision.<p><p>
<i>Methods</i>
- In the European Prospective Investigation ...
Insulin-like growth factor I and risk of epithelial invasive ovarian cancer by tumour characteristics: Results from the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-04)
Background: Prospective studies on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk are inconclusive.
Data suggest risk associations vary by tumour characteristics.<p>
<p>Methods: We conducted a nested case–control study in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
to evaluate IGF-I concentrations and EOC risk by tumour characteristics ...
Plasma alkylresorcinols, biomarkers of whole-grain wheat and rye intake, and incidence of colorectal cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-07)
Background<p>
<p>Few studies have investigated the association between whole-grain intake and colorectal cancer. Because whole-grain intake estimation might be prone to measurement errors, more objective measures (eg, biomarkers) could assist in investigating such associations.<p>
<p>Methods
<p>The association between alkylresorcinols, biomarkers of whole-grain rye and wheat intake, and colorectal ...
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 ...
