INTRODUCTION: In a geographically diverse sample of women, we asked whether cognitive reserve (CR) is best viewed as a general or cognitive domain-specific construct and whether some cognitive reserve domains but not others exert protective effects on risk of...

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 epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology

Brasky TM, Flores KF, Larson JC, Newton AM, Shadyab AH, Watanabe JH, Lane DS, Thomson CA, LaCroix AZ.
PMID: 33627382
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...

Genome-wide Association Analysis of Proinflammatory Cytokines and Gene-lifestyle Interaction for Invasive Breast Cancer Risk: The WHI dbGaP Study.

Cancer prevention research (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Immune-related etiologic pathways to influence invasive breast cancer risk may interact with lifestyle factors, but the interrelated molecular genetic pathways are incompletely characterized. We used data from the Women's Health Initiative Database for Genotypes and Phenotypes Study including 16,088...

We present an ensemble tree-based algorithm for variable selection in high dimensional datasets, in settings where a time-to-event outcome is observed with error. The proposed methods are motivated by self-reported outcomes collected in large-scale epidemiologic studies, such as the...
