TL;DR: Cigarette smoking was associated with a reduction in survival among patients with pancreatic cancer, with a statistically significant negative trend in survival for increasing pack-years of smoking.

TL;DR: The incidence and progression rates of lower urinary tract symptoms are high and increase steeply as men age, and these rates may be used for planning adequately powered trials to test lifestyle interventions for lower urinary tracts symptoms well before surgical or pharmacological treatment is indicated.

TL;DR: Using duplication-method Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses, the authors examined associations between duration of smoking cessation and colorectal cancer risk according to status of CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), microsatellite instability, v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutation, or DNA methyltransferase-3B (DNMT3B) expression.

TL;DR: Higher AHEI-2010 score may be associated with lower overall mortality, moderate alcohol consumption and lower consumption of sugar sweetened beverages and juices combined appeared to account for most of the observed associations.

TL;DR: Abdominal circumference and waist to hip ratio were associated with an increased risk of cholecystectomy, independently of body mass index in women.
