Lifestyle and Cancer Risk

The Cancer Journal, 2015
The global incidence of cancer is expected to increase substantially over the next decades. This trend is very much driven by a rise in lifestyle-related cancers due to economic and demographic transitions worldwide. Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, diet, and physical inactivity, and also reproductive and hormonal ...

RISK FACTORS FOR CANCER

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1992
It is no longer reasonable to divide cancers into those that are genetic in origin and those that are environmental in origin. With rare exception, carcinogenesis involves environmental factors that directly or indirectly exert a change in the cell's genome.

Regulating cancer risks

Environmental Science & Technology, 1985
An approach for reduction of the incidence of cancer which is based on regulation of chemical carcinogens is presented. The paper reviews the mechanisms of cancer induction, their relationships to dose-response functions, and the epidemiologic and animal studies used to estimate the coefficients of those functions.

Alcohol and Risk of Cancer

Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, 1998
A large number of cohort and case‐control studies have contributed to increased knowledge regarding alcoholic beverages and risk of malignant diseases. A clear association pointing at a causal relationship has been found for cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and liver. A suggestive association has been found for cancer of the large

Micronutrients and cancer risk

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1994
An abundance of epidemiologic evidence, based on numerous and remarkably consistent observations that persons who consume high intakes of fruits and vegetables have reduced risks of most human cancers, supports the concept that micronutrients may play important roles in the prevention of human cancers.

Cancer risk assessment

Seminars in Oncology Nursing, 1986
Summary Whether it is a computer printout or a hand-checked list, the cancer risk profile provides the nurse with valuable data for teaching patients about cancer risk factors of personal interest. It can also be an effective patient motivator; it may help the patient make personal health choices that will minimize his risk of cancer; and it may ...

Diethylstilbestrol and the Risk of Cancer

New England Journal of Medicine, 1979
PIP: There is striking evidence that there is an increased risk of early cancer mortality in women treated with diethylstilbestrol during pregnancy. Exposure to the drug is associated with more than a twofold increase in risk of all cancer, which increases to 2.89 for breast cancer, and to 2.73 for endocrine related tumors.

The risk of cancer therapy

Medical Hypotheses, 1980
Survival times of treated cancer patients are distributed lognormally. This density function exhibits a peak accompanied by a long tail which asymptotically approaches the abscissa. The lognormal conditional failure rate, known also as force of mortality, which describes the chances of a patient remaining alive, initially climbs, to decline at a later ...

Polydactyly and Risk of Cancer

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics
Introduction: Syndromic polydactyly is often associated with an increased cancer risk. However, limited data exist regarding nonsyndromic polydactyly and its associated risk of subsequent malignancy. Therefore, our purpose was to investigate differences in rates of both malignant and benign neoplasms among ...
