TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence of a locus at 15q25 predisposing to lung cancer, and reinforce interest in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors as potential disease candidates and chemopreventative targets.

TL;DR: HPV appears to play an etiologic role in many cancers of the oropharynx and possibly a small subgroup of cancers of The most common HPV type in genital cancers (HPV16) was also the most common in these tumors.

TL;DR: The virtual Consensus Net Meeting on Dermoscopy represents a valid tool for better standardization of the dermoscopic terminology and, moreover, opens up a new territory for diagnosing and managing pigmented skin lesions.

TL;DR: The results represent the most precise estimates available of the independent association of each of the two main risk factors of head and neck cancer, and they exemplify the strengths of large-scale consortia in cancer epidemiology.
