TL;DR: In a prospective cohort study, a close to two-fold elevated risk of bladder cancer was found among men reporting a history of gonorrhoea (relative risk=1.92, 95% CI= 1.10–3.33).

TL;DR: The data support a possible role of tumor epigenetic deregulation by noncoding RNA in suppressing the antitumor T-cell–mediated adaptive immune response and suggest MIR21 as a potential target for immunotherapy and prevention in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: BMI and WHR were positively associated with pancreatic cancer risk, and maintaining normal body weight may offer a feasible approach to reducing morbidity and mortality from pancreaticcancer.

TL;DR: A cohort study of major lifestyle factors (obesity, smoking and hypertension) and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome risk in the HPFS (Health Professionals Follow-up Study), a large ongoing cohort of United States based male health professionals finds no associations were observed for baseline body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, cigarette smoking and blood pressure.

TL;DR: Vitamin C from dietary sources, but not supplements, was associated with a reduced risk of OPL and the observed increased risk for current smokers with high vitamin E or β‐carotene intake should be explored further.
