UV Dose Determines Key Characteristics of Nonmelanoma Skin CancerCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 13 Số 12 - Trang 2006-2011 - 2004
Juan M. Ramos, Jaime Villa, Abigail Ruiz, Roy A. Armstrong, Jaime Matta
Abstract Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), known as
nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), are the most common cancers worldwide. Although
many factors are involved in the pathogenesis of NMSC, UV radiation is an
important risk factor. A fundamental question in skin cancer research is whether
varying doses of total UV radiation influence key characteristics of NMSC. The

Lysophospholipids Are Potential Biomarkers of Ovarian CancerCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 13 Số 7 - Trang 1185-1191 - 2004

Abstract Objective: To determine whether lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and other
lysophospholipids (LPL) are useful markers for diagnosis and/or prognosis of
ovarian cancer in a controlled setting. Method: Plasma samples were collected
from ovarian cancer patients and healthy control women in Hillsborough and
Pinellas counties, Florida, and processed at the University of South Florida H.

Lead Exposure, Polymorphisms in Genes Related to Oxidative Stress, and Risk of Adult Brain TumorsCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 18 Số 6 - Trang 1841-1848 - 2009

Abstract There is some evidence that oxidative stress plays a role in
lead-induced toxicity. Mechanisms for dealing with oxidative stress may be of
particular relevance in the brain given the high rate of oxygen metabolism.
Using a hospital-based case-control study, we investigated the role of oxidative
stress in the potential carcinogenicity of lead through examination of effect
modification of t... hiện toàn bộ
Coffee, Tea, Caffeine Intake, and Risk of Adult Glioma in Three Prospective Cohort StudiesCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 39-47 - 2010
Crystal N. Holick, Scott Smith, Edward L. Giovannucci, Dominique S. Michaud
Abstract Current data suggest that caffeinated beverages may be associated with
lower risk of glioma. Caffeine has different effects on the brain, some of which
could play a role in brain carcinogenesis, and coffee has been consistently
associated with reduced risk of liver cancer, thus suggesting a potential
anticarcinogenic effect. A total of 335 incident cases of gliomas (men, 133;
women, 202) ... hiện toàn bộ
The Heritability of Mammographically Dense and Nondense Breast TissueCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 612-617 - 2006

Abstract Background: Percent mammographic density (PMD) is a risk factor for
breast cancer. Our previous twin study showed that the heritability of PMD was
63%. This study determined the heritabilities of the components of PMD, the
areas of dense and nondense tissue in the mammogram. Methods: We combined two
twin studies comprising 571 monozygous and 380 dizygous twin pairs recruited
from Australi... hiện toàn bộ
A Longitudinal Investigation of Mammographic Density: The Multiethnic CohortCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 732-739 - 2006

AbstractMammographic densities are hypothesized to reflect the cumulative
exposure to risk factors that influence breast cancer incidence. This report
analyzed percent densities over time and explored predictors of density change
in relation to age. The study population consisted of 607 breast cancer cases
and 667 frequency matched controls with 1,956 and 1,619 mammographic readings,
respectively.... hiện toàn bộ
Body Size, Mammographic Density, and Breast Cancer RiskCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 15 Số 11 - Trang 2086-2092 - 2006
Norman F. Boyd, Lisa Martin, Limei Sun, Helen Guo, Anna M. Chiarelli, Greg Hislop, Martin J. Yaffe, Salomon Minkin
AbstractBackground: Greater weight and body mass index (BMI) are negatively
correlated with mammographic density, a strong risk factor for breast cancer,
and are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal
women, but with a reduced risk in premenopausal women. We have examined the
associations of body size and mammographic density on breast cancer risk.Method:
We examined ... hiện toàn bộ
Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adult Survivors of Pediatric Cancer—A Report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor StudyCancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 170-181 - 2010

Abstract Background: Childhood cancer survivors are at higher risk of morbidity
and mortality from cardiovascular disease compared with the general population.
Methods: Eight thousand five hundred ninety-nine survivors (52% male) and 2,936
siblings (46% male) from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, a retrospectively
ascertained, prospectively followed study of persons who survived 5 years after

Abstract Background: Human microbiota have many functions that could contribute
to cancer initiation and/or progression at local sites, yet the relation of the
lung microbiota to lung cancer prognosis has not been studied. Methods: In a
pilot study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on paired lung tumor and
