TL;DR: The findings suggest that pregnancy--or some component of the child-bearing process--protects directly against ovarian cancer, and protection seems to persist throughout life.

TL;DR: The mechanism of their formation and the evidence from epidemiological studies that high nitrate ingestion is involved in the aetiology of human cancer are reviewed.

TL;DR: Using data from the Hospital In-patient Enquiry (HIPE) Coggon and Nelms (1984) reported a substantial increase in operations for torsion of the testis between 1968 and 1980, and it is reasonable to suggest that patients with a history of torsions might also be at increased risk of developing cancer of theTesticular cancer.

TL;DR: The distribution of age at orchidopexy (or orchidectomy) of the 58 patients treated for undescended testis was almost identical to that expected on the basis of national rates, and the age at treatment of undescending testis appears to have no effect on the risk of testicular cancer.

TL;DR: To investigate the relative importance of water and food as sources of nitrate, 404 adult well-water users completed a diet diary over a 48-hour period and provided a 24-hour urine specimen and a sample of their drinking water.
