Journal ArticleDOI

Human exposure to organic arsenic species from seafood.

TL;DR: The extensive consumption of seafood globally, along with the preliminary toxicological profiles of these compounds and their confounding effect on assessing exposure to inorganic As, suggests further investigations and process-level studies on organic As are needed to fill the current gaps in knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI

New common variants affecting susceptibility to basal cell carcinoma

TL;DR: It is reported conclusive evidence that rs401681[C] in the TERT-CLPTM1L locus confers susceptibility to BCC but protects against melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rice consumption contributes to arsenic exposure in US women

TL;DR: A positive association between rice consumption and urinary arsenic excretion, a biomarker of recent arsenic exposure, in 229 pregnant women is documented, indicating that rice consumption should be considered when designing arsenic reduction strategies in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase in incidence rates of basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer in New Hampshire, USA

TL;DR: There has been a marked rise in the incidence rates of BCC and SCC skin cancers in NH in recent years, and the anatomic pattern of increase is consistent with an effect of greater sunlight exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of subsequent basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin among patients with prior skin cancer. Skin Cancer Prevention Study Group.

TL;DR: Persons with a prior nonmelanoma skin cancer had a substantial 5-year risk of developing another tumor of the same histologic type and number of previous skin cancers, solar damage, and skin sensitivity to sun exposure were particularly related to this risk.
