The Lifetime Risk of Developing Breast Cancer

JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1993
The lifetime risk of developing breast cancer in U.S. women, often quoted as one in nine, is a commonly cited cancer statistic. However, many estimates have used cancer rates derived from total rather than the cancer-free population and have not properly accounted for multiple cancers in the same individual.Our purpose was to provide a revised method ...

Lifetime alcohol consumption and risk of breast cancer

Nutrition and Cancer, 1995
The relation of lifetime alcohol intake to risk of breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women was examined in a case-control study in western New York. Cases with incident primary histologically confirmed breast cancer diagnosed during the period 1986-1991 (n = 740) and controls, frequency age-matched women drawn from New York state driver's ...

Lifetime Alcohol Intake and Breast Cancer Risk

Annals of Epidemiology, 2006
Moderate alcohol intake of one to two drinks per day has been consistently associated with a 30-50% increase in breast cancer. Despite the consistency in the overall association, several important questions remain, including whether the association between alcohol intake and breast cancer risk is affected by the timing of alcohol exposure, modified by ...

Lifetime physical activity and prostate cancer risk

International Journal of Cancer, 2004
AbstractThe purpose of our study was to investigate the relation in between physical activity in different periods of life at work and in leisure‐time and prostate cancer risk. We conducted a case‐control study on prostate cancer in Italy between 1991 and 2002, which included 1,294 incident cases of histologically confirmed prostate cancer below 75 ...

Lifetime caffeine intake and the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer

Cancer Epidemiology, 2022
Caffeine intake has been inconsistently associated with the risk of ovarian cancer in previous studies. The measure of caffeine in these studies has not always distinguished between caffeinated and decaffeinated sources, and the time for which intake was assessed was often for late adulthood and thus may have excluded the etiologic window.

Risk of Colorectal Cancer Associated With Lifetime Excess Weight

JAMA Oncology, 2022
Excess weight is associated with increased cancer risk, but the risk may have been underestimated, as previous studies did not consider cumulative lifetime exposure.To assess the association of cumulative lifetime excess weight with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).In a population-based case-control study conducted since 2003 in Germany, height and self-

Lifetime menstrual activity ? Indicator of breast cancer risk

European Journal of Epidemiology, 1993
A case-control study of 67 cases of breast cancer and 157 controls was conducted to investigate the role of different behavioral, reproductive, and hormonal factors and to develop a unifying indicator of breast cancer risk. The results confirm previous reports of the influence of smoking on the risk of breast cancer.

Lifetime Occupational Physical Activity and Prostate Cancer Risk

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1991
The authors compared the lifetime occupational physical activity of 452 prostate cancer cases identified through the population-based Hawaii Tumor Registry and 899 population controls interviewed from 1981 to 1983. Each job reported was classified into one of five levels of physical activity using published sources.

Risk of Breast Cancer in Relation to Lifetime Alcohol Consumption

JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1995
Although an association between alcohol consumption and risk of breast cancer has been observed in many studies, questions of major importance remain, including the nature of the dose-response relationship and the effects of drinking at various periods in life.Our goal was to address the issues listed above with a large case-control study.We conducted ...

High lifetime risk of cancer in primary sclerosing cholangitis

Journal of Hepatology, 2009
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients are at risk for developing cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Our aim was to assess the risk of malignancies and their influence on survival.Data from PSC patients diagnosed between 1980 and 2006 in two university hospitals were retrieved.
