TL;DR: Based on limited data, there was a suggestion that spreading dose over time (from a few days to > 1 year) may lower risk, possibly due to the opportunity for cellular repair mechanisms to operate.

TL;DR: Daily supplementation of calcium with vitamin D for seven years had no effect on the incidence of colorectal cancer among postmenopausal women, and the long latency associated with the development of colorescopy cancer, along with the seven-year duration of the trial, may have contributed to this null finding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus: Role of Obesity and Diet
Linda Morris Brown,Christine A. Swanson,Gloria Gridley,G. Marie Swanson,Janet B. Schoenberg,Raymond S. Greenberg,Debra T. Silverman,Linda M. Pottern,Richard B. Hayes,Ann G. Schwartz,Jonathan M. Liff,Joseph F. Fraumeni,Robert N. Hoover +12 more
TL;DR: The findings of an increased risk with obesity and decreased risks with intake of raw fruits and vegetables and dietary fiber provide useful directions to pursue in further investigations of this malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diabetes mellitus, other medical conditions and familial history of cancer as risk factors for pancreatic cancer.
Debra T. Silverman,Mark Schiffman,J. Everhart,Alisa M. Goldstein,Keith D. Lillemoe,G M Swanson,G M Swanson,Ann G. Schwartz,Ann G. Schwartz,Linda Morris Brown,Raymond S. Greenberg,Janet B. Schoenberg,Linda M. Pottern,Robert N. Hoover,J. F. Fraumeni +14 more
TL;DR: The findings support previous studies indicating that diabetes is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, as well as a possible complication of the tumour, and the aetiologic role of several medical conditions/interventions, including diabetes mellitus, cholecystectomy, ulcer/gastrectomy and allergic states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette Smoking and Pancreas Cancer: a Case—Control Study Based on Direct Interviews
Debra T. Silverman,Janet A. Dunn,Robert N. Hoover,Mark Schiffiman,Keith D. Lillemoe,Janet B. Schoenberg,Linda Morris Brown,Raymond S. Greenberg,Richard B. Hayes,G. Marie Swanson,Sholom Wacholder,Ann G. Schwartz,Jonathan M. Liff,Linda M. Pottern,Linda M. Pottern +14 more
TL;DR: The relationship between cigarette smoking and pancreas cancer risk is likely to be causal, despite the weakness of the dose-response data, and long-term smoking cessation clearly reduces risk, whereas switching from nonfiltered to filtered cigarettes may not be beneficial.
