BACKGROUND Estimates of lifetime cancer risk are commonly used in the clinical setting and in health-care evaluations. These measures are based on lifetime cancer risk estimates and may create an unrealistically frightening perception of cancer risk for an individual. We suggest using two new measures of cancer risk to complement the cancer lifetime risk measure, namely estimates of cancer risk...
OBJECTIVES Most prospective cohort studies of lung cancer focus on the relative risk rather than the absolute risk of smoking. METHODS This prospective study included 437,976 Korean men (cohort for the National Health Insurance Cooperation Study), > or = 40 years old, who were free of cancer and smoking-related chronic disease at the time of enrollment. Based on new incidence cases, relative ...
Increasing concentrations of anthropogenic contaminants in wild kai (food) of cultural, recreational and economic importance to the indigenous Māori of New Zealand is a potential human health risk. Contaminants that are known to bioaccumulate through the food chain (e.g., organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), PCBs and selected heavy metals) were analysed in important kai species including eel (Angu...
Adult height is associated with testicular cancer risk. We studied to what extent this association is explained by parental height, childhood height and age at puberty. We conducted a case-control study on germ-cell testicular cancer patients diagnosed in 1997-2008 and resident in the Province of Turin. Information was collected using mailed questionnaires in 2008-2011. Specifically, we asked f...
Lifetime total and beverage specific - alcohol intake and prostate cancer risk: a case-control study
BACKGROUND We investigated lifetime alcohol consumption and prostate cancer risk in a case-control study conducted in Buffalo, NY (1998-2001). METHODS The study included 88 men, aged 45 to 85 years with incident, histologically-confirmed prostate cancer and 272 controls. We conducted extensive in-person interviews regarding lifetime alcohol consumption and other epidemiologic data. RESULTS ...
Overview Women in the United States have a 12.3% estimated lifetime risk for developing breast cancer (i.e., 1 in 8 women).1 In 2009, an estimated 194,290 cases of invasive breast cancer (192,370 women and 1919 men) and 62,280 cases of female carcinoma in situ of the breast will be diagnosed in the United States, with 40,610 deaths from invasive breast cancer predicted.2 However, mortality from...
Though tobacco smoking is the primary risk factor for lung cancer (Park et al., 2008; Kamsa-Ard et al., 2013), a significant fraction of lung cancer deaths occur in lifetime non-smokers (Sisti and Boffetta, 2012). Environmental tobacco smoking (ETS) is defined as tobacco smoke produced by an active smoker both from the exhalation of smoked tobacco and by the burning end of the cigarette, which ...
BACKGROUND In the UK, a man's lifetime risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer is 1 in 8. We calculated both the lifetime risk of being diagnosed with and dying from prostate cancer by major ethnic group. METHODS Public Health England provided prostate cancer incidence and mortality data for England (2008-2010) by major ethnic group. Ethnicity and mortality data were incomplete, requirin...
