Reproductive factors and risk of meningioma and gliomaAnnette Wigertz
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Box 210, S 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 17:2663-70. 2008..Menopausal status and age at menopause were not associated with meningioma or glioma risk. Our findings imply that reproductive hormones may influence the occurrence of meningioma and glioma...
Long-term mobile phone use and brain tumor riskStefan Lonn
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Box 210, S 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Epidemiol 161:526-35. 2005..This study includes a large number of long-term mobile phone users, and the authors conclude that the data do not support the hypothesis that mobile phone use is related to an increased risk of glioma or meningioma...
Incidence trends of adult primary intracerebral tumors in four Nordic countriesStefan Lonn
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Int J Cancer 108:450-5. 2004..This increase was largely confined to the oldest age group. After 1983 and during the period with increasing prevalence of mobile phone users, the incidence has remained relatively stable for both men and women...
Output power levels from mobile phones in different geographical areas; implications for exposure assessmentS Lonn
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Box 210, S 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden
Occup Environ Med 61:769-72. 2004....
Mobile phone use and the risk of acoustic neuromaStefan Lonn
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, S 171 77 Stockholm, Sweden
Epidemiology 15:653-9. 2004..Radiofrequency exposure from mobile phones is concentrated to the tissue closest to the handset, which includes the auditory nerve. If this type of exposure increases tumor risk, acoustic neuroma would be a potential concern...
Allergic conditions and brain tumor riskAnnette Wigertz
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Epidemiol 166:941-50. 2007..60, 0.91). Our results show a reduced risk for glioma associated primarily with current allergic conditions. If this is etiologic, it has implications for the understanding of how allergic conditions might reduce the tumor risk...
Cohort studies of association between self-reported allergic conditions, immune-related diagnoses and glioma and meningioma riskJudith Schwartzbaum
Division of Epidemiology, Institute for Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Int J Cancer 106:423-8. 2003..In Cohort III, immune-related discharge diagnoses are also inversely associated with glioma (HR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.14-1.49). There is no strong evidence against (and some for) the hypothesis that allergies reduce glioma risk...
Risk of brain tumors associated with exposure to exogenous female sex hormonesAnnette Wigertz
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Epidemiol 164:629-36. 2006..7 (95% confidence interval: 0.9, 7.5). Hormone usage was not associated with glioma risk in this study. The findings suggest that the use of female sex steroids may increase the risk of meningioma...
Mobile phone use and risk of parotid gland tumorStefan Lonn
Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Epidemiol 164:637-43. 2006..The risk estimate did not increase, regardless of type of phone and amount of use. The authors conclude that the data do not support the hypothesis that mobile phone use is related to an increased risk of parotid gland tumors...
Hyperthyroidism and suicide: a retrospective cohort study in SwedenMirna Abraham-Nordling
Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Eur J Endocrinol 160:437-41. 2009..Mental symptoms and impaired quality of life commonly occur in patients treated for hyperthyroidism. Our aim was to determine whether a history of hyperthyroidism implies an increased risk of suicide...
Functional polymorphism in the alcohol dehydrogenase 3 (ADH3) promoterJ J Hedberg
Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Pharmacogenetics 11:815-24. 2001..These base pair exchanges may have an effect on the expression of the enzyme and thereby influence the capacity of certain individuals to metabolize formaldehyde...
