TL;DR: The flagship paper of the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consortium describes the generation of the integrative analyses of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types, the structures for international data sharing and standardized analyses, and the main scientific findings from across the consortium studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between Body Mass and Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus and Gastric Cardia

TL;DR: The primary aim was to precisely estimate the strength of the association while adjusting for potential confounding factors, and the effects of body mass early in life compared with its effects late in life and assessed the relative importance of physical activity and energy intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity and estrogen as risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.

TL;DR: There is a significant association between body mass and symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, especially among women, especially premenopausally, and use of hormone therapy strengthens the association, suggesting that estrogens may play an important role in the etiology of reflux disease.
