Briseis A. Kilfoy,Briseis A. Kilfoy,Tongzhang Zheng,Theodore R. Holford,Xuesong Han,Mary H. Ward,Andreas Sjödin,Yaqun Zhang,Yana Bai,Yana Bai,Cairong Zhu,Cairong Zhu,Grace L. Guo,Nathaniel Rothman,Yawei Zhang +14 more
TL;DR: Analysis of published CI5 data suggests that thyroid cancer rates increased between 1973 and 2002 in most populations worldwide, and that the increase does not appear to be restricted to a particular region of the world or by the underlying rates of thyroid cancer.

TL;DR: Common polymorphisms in TNF and IL10, key cytokines for the inflammatory response and Th1/Th2 balance, could be susceptibility loci for non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
microRNA miR-196a-2 and breast cancer: a genetic and epigenetic association study and functional analysis.
Aaron E. Hoffman,Tongzhang Zheng,Chun-Hui Yi,Derek Leaderer,Joanne B. Weidhaas,Frank J. Slack,Yawei Zhang,Trupti Paranjape,Yong Zhu +8 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that miR-196a-2 might have a potentially oncogenic role in breast tumorigenesis, and the functional genetic variant in its mature region could serve as a novel biomarker for breast cancer susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a pooled case-control study data was used to provide robust estimates of the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) subtypes after hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

TL;DR: Using a novel approach to investigate etiologic heterogeneity among NHL subtypes,risk factors that were common among subtypes as well as risk factors that appeared to be distinct among individual or a few subtypes are identified, suggesting both subtype-specific and shared underlying mechanisms.
