What's New? While the association between tobacco consumption and oral cancer is well established, the effect of cessation, particularly of chewing tobacco, the most common tobacco product in South Asia, is understudied.

Dynamics of the association between circulating levels of miRNA and pancreatic cancer risk through the years prior to pancreatic cancer diagnosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Early diagnosis is critical for improving pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma prognosis, but few biomarkers currently exist. In a case–control study of 1,307 pancreatic cancer cases and matched pairs nested in prospective cohort studies, 13 miRNA–cancer associations were found to change during the blood‐draw‐to‐diagnosis time window.

Death certificate completion by physicians
