• Coffee consumption and the risk of malignant melanoma in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) Study 

      Lukic, Marko; Jareid, Mie; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Braaten, Tonje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-29)
      Background: Coffee contains biologically-active substances that suppress carcinogenesis in vivo, and coffee consumption has been associated with a lower risk of malignant melanoma. We studied the impact of total coffee consumption and of different brewing methods on the incidence of malignant melanoma in a prospective cohort of Norwegian women. <p>Methods: We had baseline information on total ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-20)
      Background: Ovarian cancer early detection markers CA125, CA15.3, HE4, and CA72.4 vary between healthy women, limiting their utility for screening. <br>Methods: We evaluated cross-sectional relationships between lifestyle and reproductive factors and these markers among controls ( n = 1910) from a nested case-control study in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
    • Epithelial ovarian cancer subtypes attributable to smoking in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study, 2012 

      Licaj, Idlir; Lukic, Marko; Jareid, Mie; Lund, Eiliv; Braaten, Tonje; Gram, Inger Torhild (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-01-14)
      Among European women, ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer. Smoking is an established risk factor for mucinous tumors. We estimated the impact of smoking in Norwegian women using population attributable fractions (PAFs) of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), by invasiveness and by histological subtypes in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study with an average of 13.2 years of follow-up. ...
    • Epithelial ovarian cancer. Population-based cohort studies. The NOWAC Study and Postgenome biobank 

      Jareid, Mie (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-10-19)
      Important gaps in population-based epidemiological research on ovarian cancer include understanding how risk factors relate to cancer subtypes and anatomical sites, identifying safe and effective preventive measures, and getting a more detailed picture of the continuum of events during ovarian carcinogenesis. This thesis used prospective exposure information from the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) ...
    • High lactose whey cheese consumption and risk of colorectal cancer - The Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Barnung, Runa Borgund; Jareid, Mie; Lukic, Marko; Oyeyemi, Sunday Oluwafemi; Rudolfsen, Jan Håkon; Sovershaeva, Evgeniya; Skeie, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-22)
      The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) has increased among Norwegian women, and is among the highest in the world. In order to understand this increase, country specific dietary exposures have been investigated. The aim of this study was to quantify the association between consumption of brown cheese, a common bread topping in Norway, and colorectal, colon, and rectal cancer in the prospective ...
    • Kvik: three-tier data exploration tools for flexible analysis of genomic data in epidemiological studies 

      Fjukstad, Bjørn; Olsen, Karina Standahl; Jareid, Mie; Lund, Eiliv; Bongo, Lars Ailo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-30)
      Kvik is an open-source system that we developed for explorative analysis of functional genomics data from large epidemiological studies. Creating such studies requires a significant amount of time and resources. It is therefore usual to reuse the data from one study for several research projects. Often each project requires implementing new analysis code, integration with specific knowledge bases, ...

    • Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system use is associated with a decreased risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer, without increased risk of breast cancer. Results from the NOWAC Study 

      Jareid, Mie; Thalabard, Jean-Christophe; Aarflot, Morten; Bøvelstad, Hege Marie; Lund, Eiliv; Braaten, Tonje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-02)
      <p><i>Objective</i>: Women with ovarian cancer have poor survival rates, which have proven difficult to improve; therefore primary prevention is important. The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) prevents endometrial cancer, and recent studies suggested that it may also prevent ovarian cancer, but with a concurrent increased risk of breast cancer. We compared adjusted risks of ...
    • Physical activity and risk of endometrial cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Braaten, Tonje; Jareid, Mie; Gavrilyuk, Oxana; Licaj, Idlir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-20)
      Few studies have investigated the association between endometrial cancer and physical activity (PA) using repeated measures of PA and different subtypes of endometrial cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between endometrial cancer and PA level at two points in time in women with different body mass index (BMI) profiles, and to calculate the population attributable fraction (PAF) of ...

(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 ...
