• Excess body weight and incidence of type 1 and type 2 endometrial cancer: The norwegian women and cancer study 

      Sollberger, Tanja Lise; Gavrilyuk, Oxana; Rylander, Charlotta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-31)
      <i>Purpose</i>: Excess body weight has been associated with increased risk of 13 cancer types and is a particularly strong risk factor for endometrial cancer (EC). Only a few previous studies have assessed the relationship between excess body weight and EC subtypes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between excess weight and incidence of type 1 and type 2 EC.<p> <p><i>Patients ...
    • High coffee consumption and different brewing methods in relation to postmenopausal endometrial cancer risk in the Norwegian women and cancer study: A population-based prospective study 

      Gavrilyuk, Oxana; Braaten, Tonje; Skeie, Guri; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Dumeaux, Vanessa; Lund, Eiliv (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      <i>Background</i>: Coffee and its compounds have been proposed to inhibit endometrial carcinogenesis. Studies in the Norwegian population can be especially interesting due to the high coffee consumption and increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in the country.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: A total of 97 926 postmenopausal Norwegian women from the population-based prospective Norwegian Women and ...
    • Lifetime number of years of menstruation as a risk index for postmenopausal endometrial cancer in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Gavrilyuk, Oxana; Braaten, Tonje; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Licaj, Idlir; Lund, Eiliv (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-21)
      <p><i>Introduction</i>: Lifetime number of years of menstruation (LNYM) reflects a woman's cumulative exposure to endogenous estrogen and can be used as a measure of the combined effect of reproductive factors related to endometrial cancer (EC) risk.</p> <p><i>Material and methods</i>: We aimed to study the association between LNYM and EC risk among postmenopausal women and calculate the population ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      While the risk of ovarian cancer clearly reduces with each full-term pregnancy, the effect of incomplete pregnancies is unclear. We investigated whether incomplete pregnancies (miscarriages and induced abortions) are associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. This observational study was carried out in female participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ...
    • 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 ...
    • Systems Epidemiology Approach in Endometrial Cancer. The NOWAC Study 

      Gavrilyuk, Oxana (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-12-12)
      Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic cancers with extensively rising incidence worldwide. Norway is among the countries with the highest rates of EC. Although, most of the established risk factors for EC are well described, there are few studies from Norway investigating them in a cohort design. Moreover, modern clinical medicine, especially oncology, is moving towards ...
