Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental and Heritable Factors in the Causation of Cancer — Analyses of Cohorts of Twins from Sweden, Denmark, and Finland
Paul Lichtenstein,Niels V. Holm,Pia K. Verkasalo,Anastasia Iliadou,Jaakko Kaprio,Jaakko Kaprio,Markku Koskenvuo,Markku Koskenvuo,Eero Pukkala,Axel Skytthe,Kari Hemminki +10 more
TL;DR: Inherited genetic factors make a minor contribution to susceptibility to most types of neoplasms, which indicates that the environment has the principal role in causing sporadic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer risk in mutation carriers of DNA-mismatch-repair genes.
M. Aarnio,Risto Sankila,Eero Pukkala,Reijo Salovaara,Lauri A. Aaltonen,A de la Chapelle,Päivi Peltomäki,Jukka-Pekka Mecklin,Heikki Järvinen +8 more
TL;DR: The tumour spectrum associated with germline mutations of DNA‐mismatch‐repair genes involves 8 or more organ sites, suggesting a need to develop methods to screen for extra‐colonic cancer also.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of specific cancer types in dermatomyositis and polymyositis: a population-based study.
Christopher Hill,Yuqing Zhang,Bardur Sigurgeirsson,Eero Pukkala,Lene Mellemkjær,Antti Airio,Stephen R. Evans,David T. Felson +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that dermatomyositis is strongly associated with a wide range of cancers, and the overall risk of malignant disease is modestly increased among patients with polymyositis, with an excess for some cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Papillomavirus Infection as a Risk Factor for Squamous-Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
Jon Mork,Anne Kveim Lie,Eystein Glattre,G. Hallmans,Egil Jellum,Pentti Koskela,Bjørn Møller,Eero Pukkala,John T. Schiller,Linda Youngman,Matti Lehtinen,Joakim Dillner,Joakim Dillner +12 more
TL;DR: HPV-16 infection may be a risk factor for squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck in subjects who were seropositive for HPV-16, and no increased risk was observed for other HPV types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Flavonoids and the Risk of Lung Cancer and Other Malignant Neoplasms
Paul Knekt,Ritva Järvinen,Ritva Seppänen,Markku Heliövaara,Lyly Teppo,Eero Pukkala,Arpo Aromaa +6 more
TL;DR: The association between flavonoid intake and lung cancer incidence was not due to the intake of antioxidant vitamins or other potential confounding factors, as adjustment for factors such as smoking and intakes of energy, vitamin E, vitamin C, and beta-carotene did not materially alter the results.
