This study aimed to evaluate associations between exposure to a group of persistent organic pollutants, measured in both adipose tissue and serum samples from breast cancer patients, and a set of tumor prognostic markers. The study population comprised 103 breast cancer patients recruited in Granada, Southern Spain. Data for tumor prognostic markers were retrieved from…
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The objective of this study was to analyze presentation, treatment and survival for lung cancer in Granada, and identify factors influencing survival.
Despite the potential cancer preventive effects of flavonoids and lignans, their ability to reduce pancreatic cancer risk has not been demonstrated in epidemiological studies. Our aim was to examine the association between dietary intakes of flavonoids and lignans and pancreatic cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. A total…
Aims To examine the role of genetic and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of alcohol dependence in a Spanish cohort of women and men. Methods We analyzed the relationship between 56 genetic variants in 7 genes associated with the dopaminergic reward pathway and excessive alcohol consumption. The study sample (N = 1533, of which 746…

Common variants in 94 loci have been associated with breast cancer including 15 loci with genome-wide significant associations (P<5 × 10−8) with oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer and BRCA1-associated breast cancer risk. In this study, to identify new ER-negative susceptibility loci, we performed a meta-analysis of 11 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) consisting of 4,939 ER-negative…
Background: This demonstrated the effectiveness of eccentric exercise in the rehabilitation of Achilles tendinitis, on pain and function, but not known, the biomechanical changes that occur in the tendon, which can explain this evidence. Methods: A group of 17 healthy men, with 43.76 ± 8.03 years performed eccentric exercise training of plantiflexors with one leg and concentric…
Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous disease with variable survival; this variability cannot be fully explained by the current systems of risk stratification. Early mortality remains a serious obstacle to further improve the trend towards increased survival demonstrated in recent years. However, the definition of early mortality is not standardized yet. Importantly, no study has focused…
