      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 ...

      To better understand the role of individual and lifestyle factors in human disease, an exposome‐wide association study was performed to investigate within a single‐study anthropometry measures and lifestyle factors previously associated with B‐cell lymphoma (BCL). Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition study, 2402 incident BCL cases were diagnosed from 475 426 ...
    • The association between body fatness and mortality among breast cancer survivors: results from a prospective cohort study

      Evidence linking body fatness to breast cancer (BC) prognosis is limited. While it seems that excess adiposity is associated with poorer BC survival, there is uncertainty over whether weight changes reduce mortality. This study aimed to assess the association between body fatness and weight changes pre- and postdiagnosis and overall mortality and BC-specific mortality among BC survivors. Our study ...
    • Association between classes and subclasses of polyphenol intake and 5-year body weight changes in the EPIC-PANACEA study

      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 ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)
      Experimental evidence has implicated genotoxic <i>Escherichia coli (E. coli)</i> and enterotoxigenic <i>Bacteroides fragilis</i> (ETBF) in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, evidence from epidemiological studies is sparse. We therefore assessed the association of serological markers of <i>E. coli</i> and ETBF exposure with odds of developing CRC in the European Prospective Investigation ...

      Experimental evidence suggests that alcohol induces cutaneous carcinogenesis, yet epidemiological studies on the link between alcohol intake and skin cancer have been inconsistent. The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) is a prospective cohort initiated in 1992 in 10 European countries. Alcohol intake at baseline and average lifetime alcohol intake were assessed using ...

      Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer mainly caused by asbestos exposure. Specific and sensitive noninvasive biomarkers may facilitate and enhance screening programs for the early detection of cancer. We investigated DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles in MPM prediagnostic blood samples in a case-control study nested in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer ...

      Background - Classical anthropometric traits may fail to fully represent the relationship of weight, adiposity, and height with cancer risk. We investigated the associations of body shape phenotypes with the risk of overall and site-specific cancers.<p> <p>Methods - We derived four distinct body shape phenotypes from principal component (PC) analysis on height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist ...

      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, 2022-01-11)
      Background - Epidemiological and experimental evidence has linked chronic inflammation to cancer aetiology. It is unclear whether associations for specific inflammatory biomarkers are causal or due to bias. In order to examine whether altered genetically predicted concentration of circulating cytokines are associated with cancer development, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) ...

      Citrus intake has been suggested to increase the risk of skin cancer. Although this relation is highly plausible biologically, epidemiologic evidence is lacking. We aimed to examine the potential association between citrus intake and skin cancer risk. EPIC is an ongoing multi-center prospective cohort initiated in 1992 and involving ~ 520,000 participants who have been followed-up in 23 centers from ...

      This study aimed to compare calculated nutrient intakes from two different food composition databases using data from the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC) cohort. Dietary intake data of the EPIC cohort was recently matched to 150 food components from the U.S. nutrient database (USNDB). Twenty-eight of these nutrients were already included in the EPIC nutrient ...
