Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 6q25.1, near the ESR1 gene, have been implicated in the susceptibility to breast cancer for Asian (rs2046210) and European women (rs9397435). A genome-wide association study in Europeans identified two further breast cancer susceptibility variants: rs11249433 at 1p11.2 and rs999737 in RAD51L1 at 14q24.1. Although previously identified breast cancer ...

Physical activity has been inconsistently related to total prostate cancer and few studies have examined whether this association varies by disease aggressiveness.

At baseline (1995-1996), 293,902 men ages 50 to 71 years completed a questionnaire inquiring about current...

METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of 37,112 residents of Melbourne, Australia recruited from 1990 to 1994. D...

This study aimed to examine the associations between intakes of various nutrients and food groups and colorectal cancer risk in a case-control study among Koreans aged 20 to 80 years. A total of 150 new cases and 116 controls were recruited with subjects' informed consent. Dietary data were collected using the food frequency questionnaire developed and validated by the Korea Centers for Disease...

BACKGROUND One of the most common cancers is skin cancer worldwide.
