Comparison of abdominal adiposity and overall obesity in relation to risk of small intestinal cancer in a European Prospective Cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-13)
Background: The etiology of small intestinal cancer (SIC)
is largely unknown, and there are very few epidemiological
studies published to date. No studies have investigated
abdominal adiposity in relation to SIC.
<p>Methods: We investigated overall obesity and abdominal
adiposity in relation to SIC in the European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), a large
prospective ...
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)
Main nutrient patterns and colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-20)
Background: Much of the current literature on diet–colorectal cancer (CRC) associations focused on studies of single foods/
nutrients, whereas less is known about nutrient patterns. We investigated the association between major nutrient patterns and
CRC risk in participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study.
<p>Methods: Among 477 312 participants, ...
Meat consumption and mortality - results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Background: Recently, some US cohorts have shown a moderate association between red and processed meat
consumption and mortality supporting the results of previous studies among vegetarians. The aim of this study
was to examine the association of red meat, processed meat, and poultry consumption with the risk of early death
in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
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 ...
Determinants of non- response to a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the EPIC-PANACEA study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
This paper discusses whether baseline demographic, socio-economic, health variables, length of follow-up and method of contacting the participants predict non-response to the invitation for a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the European multi-center EPIC-PANACEA study.
Over 500.000 participants from several centers in ten European countries recruited between 1992 and 2000 ...
Circulating insulin-like growth factor I in relation to melanoma risk in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-07)
Insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis, and is thought to play a role in tumour development. Previous prospective studies have shown that higher circulating concentrations of IGF‐I are associated with a higher risk of cancers at specific sites, including breast and prostate. No prospective study has examined the association between circulating IGF‐I concentrations ...
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 ...
