Prospective evaluation of 92 protein biomarkers for early detection of endometrial cancer

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

The human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) remains the best available endometrial cancer (EC) biomarker; however, its discrimination between cases and cancer-free individuals is limited and might be improved when combined with other protein markers. We evaluated the discrimination capacity of 92 proteins as potential early detection biomarkers for EC in nested case–control studies in the…

Identifying Metabolomic Mediators of the Physical Activity and Colorectal Cancer Relationship

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background: Current evidence suggests higher physical activity (PA) levels are associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. However, the mediating role of the circulating metabolome in this relationship remains unclear. Methods: Targeted metabolomics data from 6,055 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort were used to identify metabolites associated with…

Education level and risk of breast cancer by tumor subtype in the EPIC cohort

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease with subtypes based on receptor status (estrogen receptor [ER], progesterone receptor [PR], and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 [HER2]), influencing prognosis and treatment. A higher socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with an increased BC risk, but its relation to BC subtypes is less clear. This study analyzed…

Reproductive Factors, Sex Hormone Levels, and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Artículos Científicos, Investigación

Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is occurring three times more frequently in females than in males. However, the underlying biological mechanisms driving this discrepancy remain poorly understood. To investigate the causal role of sex hormones and reproductive factors in the risk of DTC, we implemented a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods: We utilized genome-wide…

Reassessing the association between age at menarche and cardiovascular disease: observational and Mendelian randomization analyses

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Aims Observational studies have shown a U-shaped association between age at menarche (AAM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We assessed non-linearity of the observational association and the potential causal relationship between AAM and CVD using data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition—Cardiovascular Disease (EPIC-CVD) study and the UK Biobank. Methods and results We…

Sexual Dysfunction in Women With Eating Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Artículos Científicos, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Background Eating disorders (EDs) are common mental health conditions that impact people globally. Sexual health problems are also widely researched across various contexts. This paper explores the connection between these two areas by conducting a meta-analysis to assess sexual dysfunction (SD) in women with EDs compared to healthy individuals. Methods Multiple electronic databases were searched.…

Inflammation and gut barrier function-related genes and colorectal cancer risk in western European populations

Artículos Científicos, Cáncer, Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Gut barrier dysfunction and related inflammation are known to be associated with the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated associations of 292 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 27 genes related to endotoxins/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensing and tolerance, mucin synthesis, inflammation, and Crohn’s disease with colon and rectal cancer risks. Incident CRC cases (N = 1374; colon = 871,…
