      Lergenmuller, Simon; Ghiasvand, Reza; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Lund, Eiliv; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-02)
      <i>Importance</i> - No study, to our knowledge, has prospectively investigated a dose-response association between lifetime indoor tanning and risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - To investigate the dose-response association between lifetime indoor tanning and SCC risk, the association between duration of use and age at initiation with SCC risk, and the ...
    • Association of phenotypic characteristics and UV radiation exposure with risk of melanoma on different body sites 

      Ghiasvand, Reza; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Lund, Eiliv; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-10)
      <p><i>Importance</i>: Two pathways have been hypothesized for the development of cutaneous melanoma: one typically affects the head and neck, a site with chronic sun damage, and the other affects the trunk, which is less exposed to the sun. However, the possible cause of limb melanomas is less studied under this hypothesis.</p> <p><i>Objective</i>: To investigate the association between phenotypic ...
    • Cancer incidence and mortality among firefighters 

      Jalilian, Hamed; Ziaei, Mansour; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Khosravi, Yahya; Kjærheim, Kristina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-08)
      Firefighters are exposed to both known and suspected carcinogens. This study aims to systematically review the literature on the association of firefighting occupation and cancer incidence and mortality, overall and for specific cancer sites. A systematic review using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was performed up to January 1, 2018. We extracted risk estimates of cancers and calculated summary ...
    • Challenges in assessing the sunscreen-melanoma association 

      Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Stenehjem, Jo S.; Egger, Matthias; Ghiasvand, Reza; Cho, Eunyoung; Lund, Eiliv; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Green, Adele; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-16)
      Whether sunscreen use affects melanoma risk has been widely studied with contradictory results. To answer this question we performed a systematic review of all published studies, accounting for sources of heterogeneity and bias. We searched for original articles investigating the sunscreen‐melanoma association in humans to February 28, 2018. We then used random‐effects meta‐analysis to combine ...
    • Ghiasvand et al. Respond to "Indoor Tanning-A Melanoma Accelerator?" 

      Ghiasvand, Reza; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Green, Adele C; Lund, Eiliv; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-01)
    • Life-Course Trajectories of Physical Activity and Melanoma Risk in a Large Cohort of Norwegian Women 

      Perrier, Flavie; Ghiasvand, Reza; Lergenmuller, Simon; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone in disease prevention and varies throughout life. A pooled analysis of cohort studies and a meta-analysis of cohort studies found positive associations between PA and melanoma risk. However, previous studies focused on PA at specific ages and often lacked information on ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Using the population-based Norwegian Women ...
    • Lifetime sunburn trajectories and associated risks of cutaneous melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma among a cohort of Norwegian women 

      Lergenmuller, Simon; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Perrier, Flavie; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Lund, Eiliv; Ghiasvand, Reza; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-05)
      Importance - To our knowledge, no study has prospectively investigated sunburn patterns over age periods from childhood to adulthood and their associations with skin cancer risk.<p> <p>Objective - To identify lifetime trajectories of sunburns and compare the association between these trajectories and subsequent risk of cutaneous melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).<p> <p>Design, ...
    • Physical activity and cutaneous melanoma risk: A Norwegian population-based cohort study 

      Perrier, Flavie; Ghiasvand, Reza; Lergenmuller, Simon; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)
      Physical activity (PA) is an important factor in cancer prevention, but positive association between PA and risk of cutaneous melanoma found in recent studies may complicate this strategy. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure during outdoor PA is a plausible explanation for a positive association. We investigated the associations between PA, UVR and melanoma risk in the Norwegian Women and Cancer ...
    • Sunscreens With High Versus Low Sun Protection Factor and Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Risk: A Population-Based Cohort Study 

      Lergenmuller, Simon; Ghiasvand, Reza; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adèle C.; Lund, Eiliv; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-11)
      Evidence on sunscreen use and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) risk is limited. Most studies have not taken sun protection factor (SPF) into consideration and used nonusers of sunscreen as the reference group. Nonusers are likely a priori at lower cSCC risk than users. No study has investigated the effect of high- versus low-SPF sunscreens on cSCC, appropriately adjusting for time-varying ...
