Influence of genetic variation in the vitamin D pathway on plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels and survival among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
The relationships of genetic variation in the vitamin D pathway with circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D] levels and survival remain largely unknown for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Polymorphisms in genes related to one-carbon metabolism are not related to pancreatic cancer in PanScan and PanC4
The evidence of a relation between folate intake and one-carbon metabolism (OCM) with pancreatic cancer (PanCa) is inconsistent. In this study, the association between genes and single-nucleotide polymorphisms...

Diabetes and risk of pancreatic cancer: a pooled analysis from the pancreatic cancer cohort consortium
Diabetes is a suspected risk factor for pancreatic cancer, but questions remain about whether it is a risk factor or a result of the disease. This study prospectively examined the association between diabetes ...

Alcohol intake and pancreatic cancer: a pooled analysis from the pancreatic cancer cohort consortium (PanScan)
The literature has consistently reported no association between low to moderate alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer; however, a few studies have shown that high levels of intake may increase risk. Most s...
