Edward Giovannucci,Graham A. Colditz,Meir J. Stampfer,David G. Hunter,Bernard Rosner,Walter C. Willett,Frank E. Speizer +6 more
TL;DR: Cigarette smoking may be a previously unrecognized, preventable cause of colorectal cancer among women and the minimum induction period between the onset of smoking and cancer diagnosis appears to be at least 35 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leisure-Time Physical Activity, Body Size, and Colon Cancer in Women
Maria Elena Martinez,Edward Giovannucci,Donna Spiegelman,Walter C. Willett,David J. Hunter,Graham A. Colditz +5 more
TL;DR: The significant inverse association between leisure-time physical activity and incidence of colon cancer in women in this study is consistent with what has been found in men.
Journal Article
Plasma vitamin D metabolites and risk of colorectal cancer in women.
Diane Feskanich,Jing Ma,Charles S. Fuchs,Gregory J. Kirkner,Susan E. Hankinson,Bruce W. Hollis,Edward Giovannucci +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that higher plasma levels of 25(OH)D are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer in older women, particularly for cancers at the distal colon and rectum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective Study of Adult Onset Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2) and Risk of Colorectal Cancer in Women
Frank B. Hu,JoAnn E. Manson,Simin Liu,David J. Hunter,Graham A. Colditz,Karin B. Michels,Frank E. Speizer,Edward Giovannucci +7 more
TL;DR: The data provide support for the hypothesis that diabetes is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer in women and suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus may increase the risk of this cancer.
Journal Article

Edward Giovannucci,Michael Pollak,Elizabeth A. Platz,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Noreen Majeed,Graham A. Colditz,Frank E. Speizer,Susan E. Hankinson +8 more
