Circulating sex hormones and breast cancer risk factors in postmenopausal women: Reanalysis of 13 studies

Timothy J. Key, +55 more
TL;DR: Sex hormone concentrations were strongly associated with several established or suspected risk factors for breast cancer, and may mediate the effects of these factors on breast cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age at menopause, cause-specific mortality and total life expectancy.

TL;DR: Age-adjusted mortality is reduced 2% with each increasing year of age at menopause, and ischemic heart disease mortality is 2% lower, although the risk of death from uterine or ovarian cancer is increased by 5%, the net effect of a later menoppause is an increased lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fruit and vegetable intake and the risk of stomach and oesophagus adenocarcinoma in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-EURGAST).

TL;DR: This study supports a possible protective role of vegetable intake in the intestinal type of GC and the ACO and finds a negative but non significant association between citrus fruit intake and the cardia site while no association was observed with the non‐cardia site.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meat intake and risk of stomach and esophageal adenocarcinoma within the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).

TL;DR: Total, red, and processed meat intakes were associated with an increased risk of gastric non-cardia cancer, especially in H. pylori antibody-positive subjects, but not with cardia gastric cancer.
