TL;DR: BMI is associated with cancer risk, with substantial population-level effects, and the heterogeneity in the effects suggests that different mechanisms are associated with different cancer sites and different patient subgroups.

TL;DR: BMI was associated with all cause of death categories except for transport-related accidents, but the shape of the association varied, and the BMI associated with lowest mortality risk was higher in older individuals than in younger individuals.

TL;DR: The percentage of patients with late-stage disease at diagnosis in black Africans decreased over time, but it was still higher around 2010 than it was in white and black women in the USA 40 years previously.

TL;DR: Cross-sectional differences in MD by age and menopausal status in over 11,000 breast-cancer-free women aged 35–85 years are examined, suggesting that younger ages may be the more critical periods for lifestyle modifications aimed at breast density and breast cancer risk reduction.

TL;DR: The published data from the more appropriate prospectively measured specimens are consistent with the majority of breast cancers in Africa being ER+.
