Low-Fat Dietary Pattern and Risk of Colorectal Cancer: The Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Dietary Modification Trial

Shirley A.A. Beresford, +47 more
- 08 Feb 2006 - 
TL;DR: A low-fat dietary pattern intervention did not reduce the risk of colorectal cancer in postmenopausal women during 8.1 years of follow-up, and secondary analyses suggested potential interactions with baseline aspirin use and combined estrogen-progestin use status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies variants in the ABO locus associated with susceptibility to pancreatic cancer

Laufey T. Amundadottir, +77 more
- 01 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage genome-wide association study of pancreatic cancer, a cancer with one of the lowest survival rates worldwide, was conducted, where 558,542 SNPs were genotyped in 1,896 individuals and 1,939 controls drawn from 12 prospective cohorts plus one hospital-based case-control study.

Genome-wide association study identifies variants in the ABO locus associated with susceptibility to pancreatic cancer

Laufey T. Amundadottir, +77 more
TL;DR: An association between a locus on 9q34 and pancreatic cancer marked by the SNP rs505922 is identified, consistent with earlier epidemiologic evidence suggesting that people with blood group O may have a lower risk of pancreaticcancer than those with groups A or B.
