To assess whether tobacco smoking is associated with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and its most severe form, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).Case-control study with incident cases using the Spanish public healthcare OBJECTIVE
STK15 is a serine threonine kinase which assists chromosomal separation and mitotic spindle stability through interaction with the centrosome during mitosis. We hypothesized that STK15 polymorphisms might modulate the risk of uterine cancer.
METHODS
We used a hospital-based case-control
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the pathobiologic effects of long-term treatment with nicotine of A/J mice susceptible to tobacco-induced lung carcinogenesis.
METHODS
Experimental group of mice received subcutaneous injections of the LD(50) dose of (-)nicotine hydrogen tartrate of 3 mg/kg/day, 5 days per week
OBJECTIVE
This report provides up-to-date data and statistics for cancer mortality in Italy in 2008, and predicts the figures and rates for selected cancer sites for 2012.
METHODS
Cancer death certifications (for 30 sites) and resident population estimates in 2008 stratified by sex and age were
Modifiable lifestyle factors may reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Obesity is associated particularly with post-menopausal breast cancer. Diet is important, and exercise equivalent to running for up to 8 hours each week reduces the risk of breast cancer, both in its own right and through
Malignant uterine tumors are responsible for up to 9% of all new cancer cases and for 4.5% of all cancer related deaths in women. The three important uterine cancers are endometrial cancers, uterine sarcomas and cervical cancers. Endometrial cancers are typically found in elderly women and are > 70%
Although cancer remains a major public health burden for African Americans, progress is being achieved. For both genders, stomach cancer mortality and mortality related to Hodgkin's disease showed large decreases over the past 30 years. Among African-American females, large decreases in cancer
BACKGROUND
Cancer mortality peaked in the European Union (EU) in the late 1980s and declined thereafter.
METHODS
We analyzed EU cancer mortality data provided by the World Health Organization in 1970-2003, using join point analysis.
RESULTS
Overall, cancer mortality levelled off in men since 1988
Although the prevalence of lung cancer in men has been decreasing, it has been increasing in women. Without a doubt, lung cancer is a major health problem for women in the USA, not only owing to its high incidence rate but, more alarming, the high mortality rate. Lung cancer kills more women each
Trends in death certification rates for 12 major cancer sites and total cancer mortality in Argentina were analysed for the period 1966-91 on the basis of the World Health Organization database. In the late 1960s, total cancer mortality rates in Argentina (184/100,000 men, 117/100,000 women, world
Although cancer remains a major public health burden for African Americans, progress is being achieved. Since 1984, the cancer mortality rate has declined two percent. Stomach and uterine cancer death rates have shown dramatic decreases in the last 30 years. Tobacco use is declining among blacks and
BACKGROUND
Korea female death rates from many cancers have risen rapidly since 1985. The sources of those cancer death epidemics are unclear but may be related to rising cumulative tobacco smoke damage (smoke load). We assessed Korea female smoke load/cancer death rate associations from 1985 to
Trends in age-specific and age-standardized mortality from 10 major cancer sites and total cancer mortality in the USSR were analyzed for the period 1965-1990, on the basis of the World Health Organization mortality database. Gastric cancer mortality declined substantially. Still, these rates were
The tumor suppressor gene p53 is perhaps the most commonly mutated gene in human cancer, being mutated in a high percentage of colon, breast, skin, bladder, and many cancers of the aerodigestive tract. Individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, who routinely have a germline mutation in the p53 tumor
Population ageing results in an increasing cancer burden in the elderly. We aimed to evaluate time-trends in cancer mortality for adults aged 65 and over for 17 major cancer-types and all cancer combined in 11 countries worldwide over the period
