Sensitive Period Analysis of Adulthood BMI and Cancer Risk: An Individual Participant Data Meta‐Analysis of Over 720,000 Participants in the ABACus 2 Consortium

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Over a dozen cancers have been associated with excess body mass index, primarily in mid‐to‐late adulthood. Whether obesity‐related cancer risk differs across adulthood remains unclear. Using the Sensitive Periods Model and super‐landmarking approaches, this study found that higher BMI increased obesity‐related cancer risk across ages 30–65.

Nationwide Study on the Cervical Cancer Screening Pathway in Estonia

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Cervical cancer remains a significant burden despite being preventable, largely due to inadequate screening participation and poor follow‐up of high‐risk women. Here, the authors investigated follow‐up rates among women who tested positive for high‐risk human papillomavirus (hr‐HPV) infection in primary screening in Estonia. Data show that more than 57

Age at First Pregnancy, Adult Weight Gain and Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Risk: The PROCAS Study (United Kingdom)

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
An early first pregnancy is protective against postmenopausal breast cancer. However, pregnancy is also a key contributor to weight gain, and adult weight gain increases postmenopausal breast cancer risk. This prospective cohort study quantified the combined effect of adult weight gain and age at first pregnancy on postmenopausal breast cancer risk ...

The Predictive Value of the Tumor‐Stroma Ratio for Neoadjuvant Endocrine Therapy in Hormone Receptor‐Positive Breast Cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NET) can help prevent metastases and improve survival in patients with hormone receptor‐positive (HR+) breast cancer. Identifying which HR+ patients will benefit from NET, however, remains challenging. Here, in a patient cohort in the Netherlands, the authors evaluated tumor‐stroma ratio (TSR) and magnetic resonance ...
