TL;DR: In western Europe, an important proportion of cases of cancer can be attributable to alcohol consumption, especially consumption higher than the recommended upper limits, which support current political efforts to reduce or to abstain from alcohol consumption to reduce the incidence of cancer.

TL;DR: A reduction in risk of endometrial cancer with factors associated with a lower cumulative exposure to estrogen and/or higher exposure to progesterone, such as increasing number of FTPs and shorter menstrual lifespan is confirmed and support an important role of hormonal mechanisms inendometrial carcinogenesis.

TL;DR: This study shows a strong protective association of oral contraceptives and parity with ovarian cancer risk, a higher risk with a late age at menopause, and no association with other reproductive factors.

TL;DR: Using data on cancer incidence for 2008 and the AF(p) estimates, about 270,000 new cancer diagnoses per year can be considered attributable to cigarette smoking in the eight European countries with available data for both men and women.

TL;DR: Examination of the associations of C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, and IL1 receptor antagonist with endometrial cancer risk provided epidemiological evidence that chronic inflammation might mediate the association between obesity and endometricrial cancer and that endometrian carcinogenesis could be promoted by an inflammatory milieu.
