Estimating Counterfactual Risk Under Hypothetical Interventions in the Presence of Competing Events: Crystalline Silica Exposure and Mortality From 2 Causes of Death. [PDF]
, 2018 Exposure to silica has been linked to excess risk of lung cancer and nonmalignant respiratory disease mortality. In this study we estimated risk for both these outcomes in relation to occupational silica exposure as well as the reduction in risk that ...

Environmental tobacco smoke and lung cancer risk: Epidemiology in relation to confounding factors
Environment International, 1992 Abstract This review discusses the many confounding risk factors likely to be relevant when assessing the risk of lung cancer in nonsmokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). The literature reflects wide recognition that confounding factors must be considered in assessing the causal implications of evidence from epidemiological studies ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the present work, we have identified a transcriptional signature based on the differential expression of six genes (BCL2&MAST4, HSH2D&LAT2, METRN&PITPNM2) that would facilitate the early detection of T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‐ALL) patients prone to a poor treatment response and could be implemented at diagnosis, along with other risk ...
