Pubertal timing and incident uterine cancer in the Sister Study cohort

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Younger age at menarche is an established risk factor for uterine cancer. Age at onset of breast development (thelarche), the earliest marker of pubertal estrogen exposure unopposed by progesterone, may also be relevant to uterine cancer risk, but this association has not been explored. Using data from the US prospective Sister Study cohort,

Hypoxia‐inducible factor 2A (HIF2A) is a key regulator of hypoxic responses, but its role in ovarian clear cell carcinoma remains unclear. This study demonstrated the unfavorable prognostic significance of HIF2A expression in ovarian clear cell carcinoma.
