Journal ArticleDOI

Adiposity, mediating biomarkers and risk of colon cancer in the european prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition study

TL;DR: Data suggest that alterations in levels of these metabolic biomarkers may represent a primary mechanism of action in the relation of adiposity with colon cancer, and further studies are warranted to determine whether altering their concentrations may reduce colon cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma methionine, choline, betaine, and dimethylglycine in relation to colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

TL;DR: Individuals with high plasma concentrations of methionine, choline, and betaine may be at reduced risk of colorectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interobserver variability between general and expert pathologists during the histopathological assessment of large-core needle and open biopsies of non-palpable breast lesions

TL;DR: The interobserver agreement for the diagnosis of large-core needle biopsies between the general and experts pathologists was excellent, and the risk of benign/malignant inconsistencies between general pathologists and experts was approximately 1 in 55 for both needle and open biopsy specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical Activity and Endogenous Sex Hormone Levels in Postmenopausal Women: a Cross-Sectional Study in the Prospect-EPIC Cohort

TL;DR: The results suggest that vigorous forms of physical activity influence sex hormone levels most and are in accordance with the hypothesis that usual physical activity decreases estradiol levels and increases SHBG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and lymphoma risk: results of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition

TL;DR: The findings do not support a protective role of high 25(OH)D concentration in lymphoid cancers overall, however, they suggest that higher concentrations of 25( OH)D are associated with a reduced risk of CLL.
