Abstract

Epidemiologic studies unequivocally show that greater body mass increases the risk of endometrial cancer, but whether risk varies by use of postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT), location of fat deposition, or cancer subtype is still unclear. We examined these associations among 33,436 postmenopausal women in the Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort, who completed questionnaires on diet, lifestyle, and medical history at baseline in 1992. A total of 318 cases were eligible through June 2003. Cox-proportional hazards analyses were used to estimate multivariate-adjusted rate ratios (RR). As expected, adult body mass index (BMI) was a strong predictor of risk [RR, 4.70; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.12-7.07 for BMI 35+ versus 22.5-25.0, P trend < 0.0001]. Use of estrogen plus progestin postmenopausal HT modified the association. Among never-users, risk was significantly linear across the entire range of BMI examined (RR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.29-0.92 for <22.5 versus 22.5-25.0; RR, 4.41; 95% CI, 2.70-7.20 for > or =35 versus 22.5-25.0, P trend < 0.0001), but among ever estrogen plus progestin users, the association was not significant (P trend = 1.0; P interaction < 0.0001). We observed no difference in risk according to tendency...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
