Correlates of circulating ovarian cancer early detection markers and their contribution to discrimination of early detection models: results from the EPIC cohort
(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 ...
Menstrual factors, reproductive history, hormone use, and urothelial carcinoma risk: A prospective study in the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-28)
<p>Background: Urothelial carcinoma is the predominant (95%) bladder cancer subtype in industrialized nations. Animal and epidemiologic human studies suggest that hormonal factors may influence urothelial carcinoma risk.
<p>Methods: We used an analytic cohort of 333,919 women from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Cohort. Associations between hormonal factors and ...
Insulin-like growth factor I and risk of epithelial invasive ovarian cancer by tumour characteristics: Results from the EPIC cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-04)
Background: Prospective studies on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk are inconclusive.
Data suggest risk associations vary by tumour characteristics.<p>
<p>Methods: We conducted a nested case–control study in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)
to evaluate IGF-I concentrations and EOC risk by tumour characteristics ...
Reproductive factors and epithelial ovarian cancer survival in the EPIC cohort study
(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 ...
