Multivitamin use after diagnosis and prostate cancer survival among men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer
Multivitamin use is common among cancer patients. Whether post-diagnostic multivitamin supplementation is beneficial for prostate cancer survival is largely unknown, and some evidence even suggests potential h...

Different operationalizations of the 2018 WCRF/AICR cancer prevention recommendations and risk of cancer
The standardized scoring system assessing adherence to the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF)/American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) cancer prevention recommendations assigns equal weight for each r...

Article
Adherence to the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research cancer prevention recommendations throughout the life course and risk of colorectal cancer precursors
Despite the increasing incidence in colorectal cancer (CRC) among the young population, the involvement of modifiable early-life exposures is understudied.

Article
Adolescent dietary patterns in relation to later prostate cancer risk and mortality in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
Although adolescent diet has been proposed to contribute to prostate cancer (PCa) development, no studies have investigated the relation between adolescent dietary patterns and PCa risk or mortality.

Article
Gallstones and risk of cancers of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas: a prospective study within two U.S. cohorts
Gallstones may result in inflammation, altered bile flow, and changes in metabolic hormone levels, thereby increasing cancer risk. However, previous studies for gallstones and cancers of the liver, biliary tra...

Open AccessPre-diagnostic C-reactive protein concentrations, CRP genetic variation and mortality among individuals with colorectal cancer in Western European populations
The role of elevated pre-diagnostic C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations on mortality in individuals with colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear.

Article
Adolescent animal product intake in relation to later prostate cancer risk and mortality in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
Adolescent intake of animal products has been proposed to contribute to prostate cancer (PCa) development because of its potentially carcinogenic constituents and influence on hormone levels during adolescence.

Article
Sugar-sweetened beverage, artificially sweetened beverage and sugar intake and colorectal cancer survival
The influence of a high sugar diet on colorectal cancer (CRC) survival is unclear.
-
Article
Open AccessDairy intake during adolescence and risk of colorectal adenoma later in life
Higher dairy intake during adulthood has been associated with lower colorectal cancer risk. As colorectal carcinogenesis spans several decades, we hypothesised that higher dairy intake during adolescence is as...

Article
Open AccessPlasma sex hormones and risk of conventional and serrated precursors of colorectal cancer in postmenopausal women
Sex hormones have been suggested to play a role in colorectal cancer (CRC), but their influence on early initiation of CRC remains unknown.

Article
Adolescent dairy product and calcium intake in relation to later prostate cancer risk and mortality in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
Although a growing body of evidence supports an early-life contribution to prostate cancer (PCa) development, few studies have investigated early-life diet, and only three have examined early-life dairy produc...

Article
Open AccessAcid-suppressive medications and risk of colorectal cancer: results from three large prospective cohort studies
Despite several plausible biological mechanisms linking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) with colorectal tumorigenesis, their association with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) h...

Article
Open AccessPost-diagnosis dietary insulinemic potential and survival outcomes among colorectal cancer patients
The empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (EDIH) score is a validated food-based dietary score that assesses the ability of whole-food diets to predict plasma c-peptide concentrations. Although the EDIH...

Open AccessResistance training and total and site-specific cancer risk: a prospective cohort study of 33,787 US men
Muscle-strengthening activities have been recommended for health benefits. However, it is unclear whether resistance training is associated with cancer risk, independent of total physical activity.

Article
Open AccessAn integrated analysis of lymphocytic reaction, tumour molecular characteristics and patient survival in colorectal cancer
Histological lymphocytic reaction is regarded as an independent prognostic marker in colorectal cancer. Considering the lack of adequate statistical power, adjustment for selection bias and comprehensive tumou...

Article
Proceedings of the fourth international molecular pathological epidemiology (MPE) meeting
An important premise of epidemiology is that individuals with the same disease share similar underlying etiologies and clinical outcomes. In the past few decades, our knowledge of disease pathogenesis has impr...

Article
Open AccessPhysical activity during adolescence and risk of colorectal adenoma later in life: results from the Nurses’ Health Study II
Physical activity during adulthood has been consistently associated with lower risk of colorectal cancers, but whether physical activity during adolescence may also play a role in colorectal carcinogenesis is ...

Article
Calcium intake and colon cancer risk subtypes by tumor molecular characteristics
A preventive potential of high calcium intake against colorectal cancer has been indicated for distal colon cancer, which is inversely associated with high-level CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), high-le...

Article
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and colorectal cancer survival
Liver diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and ensuing alterations to the micro-environment may affect development of liver metastasis. Mirroring the rise in obesity rates, prevalence o...

Open AccessInfluence of dietary insulin scores on survival in colorectal cancer patients
Although hyperinsulinemia is hypothesised to be involved in colorectal carcinogenesis, it remains unclear whether a diet inducing an elevated insulin response influences colorectal cancer (CRC) survival.
