Journal ArticleDOI
Serum C-Peptide, Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I, IGF-Binding Proteins, and Colorectal Cancer Risk in Women
Rudolf Kaaks,Paolo Toniolo,Arslan Akhmedkhanov,Annekatrin Lukanova,Carine Biessy,Henri Déchaud,Sabina Rinaldi,Anne Zeleniuch-Jacquotte,Roy E. Shore,Elio Riboli +9 more
TL;DR: Ch Chronically high levels of circulating insulin and IGFs associated with a Western lifestyle may increase colorectal cancer risk, possibly by decreasing IGFBP-1 and increasing the bioactivity of IGF-I.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body size and breast cancer risk: findings from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).

Allen,Carla H. van Gils,Kay-Tee Khaw,Bertrand Tehard,Franco Berrino,Anne Tjønneland,Janne Bigaard,Anja Olsen,Kim Overvad,Françoise Clavel-Chapelon,Gabriele Nagel,Heiner Boeing,Dimitrios Trichopoulos,George D.

TL;DR: Excess breast cancer risk with HRT was particularly evident among lean women, and general obesity is a significant predictor of breast cancer, while abdominal fat assessed as waist–hip ratio or waist circumference was not related to excess risk when adjusted for BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postmenopausal serum androgens, oestrogens and breast cancer risk: the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition
Rudolph Kaaks,S. Rinaldi,Timothy J. Key,Franco Berrino,Petra H.M. Peeters,Carine Biessy,Laure Dossus,Annekatrin Lukanova,Annekatrin Lukanova,Sheila Bingham,K-T Khaw,Naomi E. Allen,H. B.

TL;DR: The results have shown that, among postmenopausal women, not only elevated serum oestrogens but also serum androgens are associated with increased breast cancer risk, and caution against the use of DHEA(S), or other androgens, for post menopausal androgen replacement therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Proteins, and Prostate Cancer Risk: a Prospective Study
Pär Stattin,Annika Bylund,Sabina Rinaldi,Carine Biessy,Henri Déchaud,Ulf-Håkan Stenman,Lars Egevad,Elio Riboli,Göran Hallmans,Rudolf Kaaks +9 more
TL;DR: Prostate cancer risk is increased in men with elevated plasma IGF-I, and this association was particularly strong in younger men in this study, suggesting that circulating IGF-i may be specifically involved in the early pathogenesis of prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A case-control study nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort to examine associations among premenopausal serum concentrations of sex steroids and subsequent breast cancer risk found no statistically significant association with serum levels.
