Genetic variation in genes interacting with BRCA1/2 and risk of breast cancer in Cypriot population. [PDF]
, 2010 Inability to correctly repair DNA damage is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes have been identified, which modify the DNA repair capacity, which in turn may affect the risk

Education and cancer risk [PDF]
Labour Economics, 2014 There exists a strong educational gradient in cancer risk, which has been documented in a wide range of populations. Yet relatively little is known about the extent to which education is causally linked to cancer incidence and mortality. This paper exploits a large social experiment where an education reform expanded compulsory schooling during the ...

Acromegaly and the risk of cancer
Pathophysiology, 2001 Recent studies suggest that acromegaly might predispose to an increased risk of benign and malignant neoplasms, thus influencing the final outcome of the disease. The exact mechanism of neoplastic events in acromegaly has not been completely clarified. Several studies indicate an autocrine-paracrine role for growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth ...
