Basal cell carcinoma on the trunk is associated with excessive sun exposureRachel E Neale
Viertel Centre for Research in Cancer Control, Queensland Cancer Fund, Spring Hill, Queensland, Australia
J Am Acad Dermatol 56:380-6. 2007..We tested the hypothesis that the phenotypic determinants and patterns of sun exposure that give rise to BCC on the head and trunk vary in a way that explains the anomalous site distribution...
Prevalence and stability of antibodies to the BK and JC polyomaviruses: a long-term longitudinal study of AustraliansAnnika Antonsson
Genetics and Population Health Division, Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
J Gen Virol 91:1849-53. 2010..Thus, a single measure can be used as a reasonable indicator of long-term antibody status in epidemiological studies aiming to understand associations between polyomaviruses and disease...
Incidence of basal cell carcinoma multiplicity and detailed anatomic distribution: longitudinal study of an Australian populationNaomi M Richmond-Sinclair
Cancer and Population Studies Unit, Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
J Invest Dermatol 129:323-8. 2009..We conclude that actual BCC tumor burden is much greater in the population than is apparent from normal incidence rates. Anatomic distribution of BCC is consistent with general levels of sun exposure across body sites...
Knowledge and attitudes about Vitamin D and impact on sun protection practices among urban office workers in Brisbane, AustraliaLan H Vu
Queensland University of Technology, Queensland, Australia
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:1784-9. 2010..Sun exposure is the main source of vitamin D. Increasing scientific and media attention to the potential health benefits of sun exposure may lead to changes in sun exposure behaviors...
Prevalence and stability of antibodies to 37 human papillomavirus types--a population-based longitudinal studyAnnika Antonsson
Genetics and Population Health Division, Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Virology 407:26-32. 2010..Seroprevalence to cutaneous HPV types are relatively stable over time, and a single measure can be used as a reasonable marker of long-term antibody status...
Measuring behavioral interventions by questionnaires and prospective diaries: an example of sunscreen useRachel E Neale
Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Royal Brisbane Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Epidemiology 13:224-7. 2002..Diaries are used to measure behavior in intervention trials, despite the tendency of diaries to overestimate adherence...
Re: Human papillomavirus infection and incidence of squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas of the skinLisa Hall

Long-term increase in sunscreen use in an Australian community after a skin cancer prevention trialJolieke C van der Pols
Longitudinal Studies Unit, School of Population Health, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Prev Med 42:171-6. 2006..In a high-risk community, we assessed long-term sunscreen use among people who had participated in a randomized trial of daily sunscreen application for prevention of skin cancer...
Longitudinal analysis of the effect of prenatal nicotine exposure on subsequent smoking behavior of offspringKate H Roberts
Cancer Research UK, General Practice Research Group, Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Oxford, United Kingdom
Nicotine Tob Res 7:801-8. 2005..Further investigation in larger studies with greater detail of factors shaping smoking in childhood and adulthood and biochemically verified outcome measures would be desirable to clarify the relationship...
The effects of twins, parity and age at first birth on cancer risk in Swedish womenRachel E Neale
Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Australia
Twin Res Hum Genet 8:156-62. 2005..These findings lend weight to the hypothesis that hormonal factors influence the etiology of colorectal cancer in women, but argue against any strong effect of hormones on the development of melanoma or tumors of the thyroid...

Med J Aust 186:52-4. 2007
Calcium, diet and fracture risk: a prospective study of 1898 incident fractures among 34 696 British women and menTimothy J Key
Cancer Epidemiology Unit, University of Oxford, Richard Doll Building, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford, OX3 7LF, UK
Public Health Nutr 10:1314-20. 2007..The risk factors for fractures are incompletely understood. An outstanding question concerns the optimal amount of dietary calcium needed to minimise the risk of fracture...

Childhood Cancer Research Group, 57 Woodstock Road, Oxford OX2 6HJ, United Kingdom
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 14:1236-40. 2005..Mothers of twins have higher estrogen levels during pregnancy than mothers of singletons, therefore, assessment of cancer risk in twins may be informative...

Cancer Causes Control 15:829-35. 2004..21). Conversely the risk of cervical cancer was higher among twin mothers (RR = 1.78, 95% CI 0.88-3.52). This latter finding supports previous data suggesting that reproductive hormones act as cofactors in the etiology of cervical cancer...

Epidemiology 14:707-12. 2003..Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. An association of sun exposure with cortical cataract has been well established, but the association with nuclear cataract remains unclear...
