Alcohol consumption and risk of urothelial cell bladder cancer in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition cohort

Artículos Científicos

Findings on the association between alcohol consumption and bladder cancer are inconsistent. We investigated that association in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort. We included 476,160 individuals mostly aged 35–70 years, enrolled in ten countries and followed for 13.9 years on average. Hazard ratios (HR) for developing urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC; 1,802…

Age- and gender-based social inequalities in palliative care for cancer patients: a systematic literature review

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Objectives: Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, given its magnitude and growing burden, in addition to the repercussions on health and quality of life. Palliative care can play an important role improving quality of life and it is cost-effective, but some population groups may not benefit from it or benefit less based on…

Age at Menopause and the Risk of Stroke: Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analysis in 204 244 Postmenopausal Women

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Investigación

Background Observational studies have shown that women with an early menopause are at higher risk of stroke compared with women with a later menopause. However, associations with stroke subtypes are inconsistent, and the causality is unclear. Methods and Results We analyzed data of the UK Biobank and EPIC‐CVD (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition‐Cardiovascular…

Adoption of trastuzumab for breast cancer in four emerging countries in the use of health technology assessment: a case study

Artículos Científicos

Regulatory authorities have indicated that new drugs to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D) should not be associated with an unacceptable increase in cardiovascular risk. Human genetics may be able to guide development of antidiabetic therapies by predicting cardiovascular and other health endpoints. We therefore investigated the association of variants in six genes that encode drug…

Adiposity assessed close to diagnosis and prostate cancer prognosis in the EPIC study

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Investigación

Background Adiposity has been characterised as a modifiable risk factor of prostate cancer. Its association with outcomes after prostate cancer diagnosis, however, needs to be better understood and obtain more evidence to assist the development of lifestyle guidance for prostate cancer patients. Methods We investigated the associations between adiposity indices close to prostate cancer diagnosis…

Adiposity and endometrial cancer risk in postmenopausal women: a sequential causal mediation analysis

Artículos Científicos

Background Adiposity increases endometrial cancer (EC) risk, possibly through inflammation, hyperinsulinemia, and increasing estrogens. We aimed to quantify the mediating effects of adiponectin (anti-inflammatory adipocytokine); interleukin-6, interleukin-1-receptor antagonist, TNF-receptor-1 and -2, and C-reactive protein (inflammatory status biomarkers); C-peptide (hyperinsulinemia biomarker); free estradiol and estrone (estrogen biomarkers) in the adiposity-EC link in postmenopausal women. Methods We…
