Journal ArticleDOI

Early diagnostic protein biomarkers for breast cancer: how far have we come?

TL;DR: This work highlights two proteins that were most often related to breast cancer: C3a des-arginine anaphylatoxin (C3adesArg) and fragments of inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 (ITIH4).
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient-wide association study of 57 foods/nutrients and epithelial ovarian cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study and the Netherlands Cohort Study

Melissa A. Merritt, +51 more
TL;DR: A nutrient-wide association study approach was used to systematically test the association between dietary factors and invasive EOC risk while accounting for multiple hypothesis testing by using the false discovery rate and evaluated the findings in an independent cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 and brain tumor risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition.

TL;DR: High concentrations of IGF-I might be positively associated with risk of low-grade gliomas and acoustic neuromas, although the authors cannot exclude reverse causation, in particular for low- grade glioma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenges in estimating the validity of dietary acrylamide measurements.

TL;DR: Estimates of total acrylamide intake based on self-reported diet correlate weakly with biomarker AA Hb levels, suggesting that possible explanations are the lack of AA levels to capture dietary acrieslamide due to individual differences in the absorption and metabolism, and/or measurement errors in acRYlamide from self- reported dietary assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variation at ABO histo-blood group and FUT loci and diffuse and intestinal gastric cancer risk in a European population.

TL;DR: Investigation of variants at ABO and FUT1–7 loci and GC risk in a case–control study of 365 cases and 1,284 controls nested within the EPIC cohort indicated that the associations were largely due to allelic blood group A.
