Outdoor light at night and risk of liver cancer in the NIH-AARP diet and health study
Accumulating evidence suggests that light at night (LAN) disrupts circadian rhythms and may increase risk of liver cancer. However, there is no population-based study that examined LAN and liver cancer risk. T...

Comorbidity and stage at diagnosis among lung cancer patients in the US military health system
We investigated the association between comorbidities and stage at diagnosis among NSCLC patients in the US Military Health System (MHS), which provides universal health care to its beneficiaries.

Oophorectomy and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and primary liver cancer in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink
Incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver cancer are 2–3 times higher in males than females. Hormonal mechanisms are hypothesized, with studies suggesting that oophorectomy may increase ...

Comparability of serum, plasma, and urinary estrogen and estrogen metabolite measurements by sex and menopausal status
The comparability between serum, plasma, and urinary measurements of estrogen metabolites via liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) has not been largely explored, and it is unclear if urina...

Tooth loss and liver cancer incidence in a Finnish cohort
Periodontal disease, a major cause of tooth loss in adults, may have systemic effects and has been associated with higher risk of several cancer types. However, the associations of periodontal disease or tooth...

Survival among Black and White patients with renal cell carcinoma in an equal-access health care system
Unequal access to health care may be a reason for shorter survival among Black patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) than among their White counterparts. No studies have investigated survival disparity amon...

Racial/ethnic differences in breast cancer survival by inflammatory status and hormonal receptor status: an analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data
Compared to non-inflammatory breast cancer (non-IBC), inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) has less favorable survival and is more likely to be estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) negative. ER−/...

Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for gastrointestinal cancers among postmenopausal women
While diabetes has been linked to several cancers in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, findings have been mixed for sites other than colorectal and liver cancer. We used the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) data...

The association between frequency of vigorous physical activity and hepatobiliary cancers in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study
Despite a potential preventive effect of physical activity on hepatobiliary cancer, little information is available on the relation between the two. We studied the association between frequency of vigorous phy...

Relationship of sex steroid hormones with body size and with body composition measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in US men
To evaluate the association of body size—captured via whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and physical measurement—with serum sex steroid hormones and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), we util...

Significant calendar period deviations in testicular germ cell tumors indicate that postnatal exposures are etiologically relevant
The current working model of type II testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) pathogenesis states that carcinoma in situ arises during embryogenesis, is a necessary precursor, and always progresses to cancer. An impl...

Quality of life among testicular cancer survivors: a case–control study in the United States
Evidence from previous studies has suggested there may be physical and mental changes in health among testicular cancer survivors. No studies have been conducted in the United States, however.

Placental characteristics as a proxy measure of serum hormone and protein levels during pregnancy with a male fetus
In utero exposure to steroid hormones may be related to risk of some cancers such as testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). To determine whether placental characteristics are good surrogate measures of maternal b...

Fertility among testicular cancer survivors: a case-control study in the U.S.
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) disproportionately affect men between the ages of 15 and 49 years, when reproduction is typical. Although TGCT treatment directly affects gonadal tissues, it remains unclear ...

Genetic variation in hormone metabolizing genes and risk of testicular germ cell tumors
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) that arise in young men are composed of two histologic types, seminomas and nonseminomas. Risk patterns for the two types appear to be similar and may be related to either en...
