Journal ArticleDOI

Expression Profiles of miRNA Subsets Distinguish Human Colorectal Carcinoma and Normal Colonic Mucosa

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that while many miRNAs are dysregulated between carcinoma and normal mucosa, smaller subsets of these mi RNAs are useful and informative in discriminating between these tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity and breast cancer risk among women in the southwestern United States.

TL;DR: Evaluating breast cancer risk associated with total and vigorous physical activity at ages 15, 30, and 50 years and the referent year prior to diagnosis/selection suggests physical activity is important in reducing risk of breast cancer in both NHW and HAI women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin genes and associations with colon and rectal cancer risk and overall survival

TL;DR: Genetic variation in genes from various anti‐inflammatory and proinflammatory interleukins play a role in risk and overall survival for colon and rectal cancer, and increasing numbers of risk alleles were associated with increased hazard of death from cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations between genetic variation in RUNX1, RUNX2, RUNX3, MAPK1 and eIF4E and risk of colon and rectal cancer: additional support for a TGF-β-signaling pathway

TL;DR: Although the associations need confirmation, the findings and their internal consistency underline the importance of genetic variation in these genes for the etiology of CRC.
