Open AccessAntihypertensive drug targets and breast cancer risk: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Findings on the correlation between the use of antihypertensive medication and the risk of breast cancer (BC) have been inconsistent. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) using instrumental v...

Open AccessTypes of second primary cancer influence overall survival in cutaneous melanoma
Favorable survival in malignant cutaneous melanoma (melanoma) has increased the likelihood of second primary cancer (SPC). We assess the influence of patient characteristics at diagnosis of first melanoma and ...

Impact of family history of cancer on risk and mortality of second cancers in patients with prostate cancer
Survival rates are increasing in patients with prostate cancer, and second primary cancers (SPCs) are becoming more common in these patients. However, the etiology and clinical consequences of SPCs are not wel...
