      Background: The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been proposed as a healthy diet with a potential to lower the incidence of several types of cancer, but there is no data regarding thyroid cancer (TC). We investigated the association between MD adherence, and its components, and the differentiated TC risk within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.<p> <p>Methods: ...

      Löding, Sebastian; Andersson, Ulrika; Kaaks, Rudolf; Schulze, Matthias B.; Pala, Valeria; Urbarova, Ilona Halva; Amiano, Pilar; Colorado-Yohar, Sandra M.; Guevara, Marcela; Heath, Alicia K.; Chatziioannou, Anastasia Chrysovalantou; Johansson, Mattias; Nyberg, Lars Erik; Antti, Henrik; Björkblom, Benny; Melin, Beatrice (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-31)
      Genetic and metabolic changes in tissue and blood are reported to occur several years before glioma diagnosis. Since gliomas are currently detected late, a liquid biopsy for early detection could affect the quality of life and prognosis of patients. Here, we present a nested case-control study of 550 prediagnostic glioma cases and 550 healthy controls from the Northern Sweden Health and Disease ...

      Wu, Wendy Yi-Ying; Haider, Zahra; Feng, Xiaoshuang; Heath, Alicia K.; Tjønneland, Anne; Agudo, Antonio; Masala, Giovanna; Robbins, Hilary A.; Huerta, María-José; Guevara, Marcela; Schulze, Matthias B.; Rodriguez-Barranco, Miguel; Vineis, Paolo; Tumino, Rosario; Kaaks, Rudolf; Fortner, Renée T.; Sieri, Sabina; Panico, Salvatore; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Braaten, Tonje; Johansson, Mattias; Melin, Beatrice; Johansson, Mikael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-28)
      The EarlyCDT-Lung test is a blood-based autoantibody assay intended to identify high-risk individuals for low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the performance of the EarlyCDT-Lung test in ever-smokers. We conducted a nested case-control study within two prospective cohorts to evaluate the risk-discriminatory performance of the EarlyCDT-Lung ...

      Background - The Mediterranean diet has been associated with lower risk of breast cancer (BC) but evidence from prospective studies on the role of Mediterranean diet on BC survival remains sparse and conflicting. We aimed to investigate whether adherence to Mediterranean diet prior to diagnosis is associated with overall and BC-specific mortality.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 13,270 incident breast ...

      Background - Since the first version of the dietary inflammatory index (DII®) developed in the past decade, several other versions have been developed. However, to date no study has attempted to compare these versions with respect to their associations with biomarkers of inflammation.<p> <p>Objective - We aimed to investigate the relationship between four dietary inflammatory scores [DII, two ...

Monique; Vozar, Beatrice; Winkvist, Anna; Gunter, Marc J.; Monteiro, Carlos A.; Millett, Christopher; Levy, Renata Bertazzi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-16)
      Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)
      BACKGROUND: There is controversy about associations between total dietary fatty acids, their classes (saturated fatty acids [SFAs], monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids), and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Specifically, the relevance of food sources of SFAs to CHD associations is uncertain.<p> METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a case-cohort study involving 10 529 ...

We aimed to examine the relationship between pre-diagnostic dietary patterns related to these mechanisms and BC survival.<p> <p>Methods - The diabetes risk reduction diet (DRRD), inflammatory score of diet (ISD) and oestrogen-related dietary pattern (ERDP) were calculated using dietary data from ...
