Adherence to the DASH Diet Is Inversely Associated With Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes: The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study
TL;DR: Adherence to the DASH dietary pattern, which is rich in vegetables, fruit, and low-fat dairy products, may have the potential to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal breast tissue of obese women is enriched for macrophage markers and macrophage-associated gene expression.
Xuezheng Sun,Patricia Casbas-Hernandez,Carol Bigelow,Liza Makowski,D. Joseph Jerry,D. Joseph Jerry,Sallie S. Schneider,Melissa A. Troester +7 more
TL;DR: Obesity is associated with local inflammation and macrophage infiltration in normal human breast adipose tissues, and the role of macrophages in carcinogenesis has important implications for breast cancer etiology and progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Multigene assays highlight racial disparities in tumor subtype distribution that persist even in clinically defined subgroups and differences in tumor biology (eg, HER2-enriched status) may be targetable to reduce disparities among clinically ER+/HER2- cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intratumoral heterogeneity as a source of discordance in breast cancer biomarker classification
Emma H. Allott,Joseph Geradts,Xuezheng Sun,Stephanie M. Cohen,Gary Zirpoli,Thaer Khoury,Wiam Bshara,Mengjie Chen,Mark E. Sherman,Julie R. Palmer,Christine B. Ambrosone,Andrew F. Olshan,Melissa A. Troester +12 more
TL;DR: Intratumoral biomarker heterogeneity may impact breast cancer classification accuracy, with implications for clinical management, and large studies are needed to study the impact of heterogeneous biomarker expression on Breast cancer classification and outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of human papillomavirus among oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma cases: systematic review and meta-analysis
Jessica L. Petrick,A B Wyss,Anne M. Butler,C Cummings,Xuezheng Sun,Charles Poole,Jennifer S. Smith,Andrew F. Olshan +7 more
TL;DR: The highest HPV prevalence was found in Africa and Asia, notably among Chinese studies from provinces with high OSCC incidence rates, and future research should focus on quantifying HPV in OSCC cases using strict quality control measures.
