BACKGROUND: Regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) is associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer. Genome-wide interaction analysis on single variants (G × E) has identified several SNPs that may interact with NSAIDs to confer colorectal cancer risk,...

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2021 May;30(5):1029-1032. doi: 10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-20-1401. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

BACKGROUND: Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) has been postulated to reduce cancer risk by inhibition of tumor progression, vascularization, and metastasis. The renin-angiotensin system is upregulated in colorectal cancers; however, the association of...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) estimates of adiposity improve risk prediction for cardiometabolic diseases over traditional surrogates, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in older women.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed up...
