Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT
BMJ 326:248. 2003..To investigate whether size at birth and rate of fetal growth influence the risk of breast cancer in adulthood...- Ethnic variations in mammographic density: a British multiethnic longitudinal studyValerie A McCormack
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom
Am J Epidemiol 168:412-21. 2008..3% (95% CI: -1.3, 3.7) and 3.8% (95% CI: 1.1, 6.3) lower, respectively. Ethnic differences in mammographic density are consistent with those for breast cancer risk... - Comparison of a new and existing method of mammographic density measurement: intramethod reliability and associations with known risk factorsValerie A McCormack
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Wellington, New Zealand
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 16:1148-54. 2007..It is commonly measured by an interactive threshold method that does not fully use information contained in a mammogram. An alternative fully automated standard mammogram form (SMF) method measures density using a volumetric approach... - Breast density and parenchymal patterns as markers of breast cancer risk: a meta-analysisValerie A McCormack

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 15:1159-69. 2006..It also refutes the suggestion that the association is an artifact of masking bias or that it is only present in a restricted age range... - Birth characteristics and adult cancer incidence: Swedish cohort of over 11,000 men and womenValerie A McCormack
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom
Int J Cancer 115:611-7. 2005..These findings provide evidence of a modest association of birth size and adult cancer risk, resulting from positive associations with a few cancer sites and a possible inverse association with endometrial cancer... - Heterogeneity of breast cancer risk within the South Asian female population in England: a population-based case-control study of first-generation migrantsV A McCormack
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT, UK
Br J Cancer 90:160-6. 2004..49, 95% CI: 0.85, 2.63). These findings reveal differences in breast cancer risk between South Asian ethnic subgroups, which were not fully explained by reproductive differences, but were partly accounted for by diet and body size... - Is the association of birth weight with premenopausal breast cancer risk mediated through childhood growth?I Dos Santos Silva
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT, UK
Br J Cancer 91:519-24. 2004..94 (0.74, 5.14) per 1 kg increase in birth weight). The pathways through which birth weight is associated with premenopausal breast cancer risk seem to be largely independent of those underlying the relation of postnatal growth to risk... - Life-course body size and perimenopausal mammographic parenchymal patterns in the MRC 1946 British birth cohortV A McCormack
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT, UK
Br J Cancer 89:852-9. 2003..64, 0.81). These findings reveal the importance of taking life-course changes in body size, and not just contemporaneous measures, into account when using mammographic density as an intermediate marker for risk of breast cancer... - Sex steroids, growth factors and mammographic density: a cross-sectional study of UK postmenopausal Caucasian and Afro-Caribbean womenValerie A McCormack
Cancer Research UK Epidemiology and Genetics Group, Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK
Breast Cancer Res 11:R38. 2009..If such a hormonal basis of mammographic density exists, hormones may underlie ethnic differences in both mammographic density and breast cancer incidence rates... - Issues in the reporting of epidemiological studies: a survey of recent practiceStuart J Pocock
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London WC1E 7HT
BMJ 329:883. 2004..To review current practice in the analysis and reporting of epidemiological research and to identify limitations... - The spatial distribution of radiodense breast tissue: a longitudinal studySnehal M Pinto Pereira
Cancer Research UK Epidemiology and Genetics Group, Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK
Breast Cancer Res 11:R33. 2009..This study aims to investigate the spatial distribution of density within the breast using 493 mammographic images from a sample of 165 premenopausal women (~3 medio-lateral oblique views per woman)... - Mammographic density and markers of socioeconomic status: a cross-sectional studyZoe Aitken
Cancer Research UK Epidemiology and Genetics Group, Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT, UK
BMC Cancer 10:35. 2010..This study aims to investigate whether mammographic density varies by SES and to identify the underlying anthropometric, lifestyle and reproductive factors leading to such variation... - Ovulation-stimulation drugs and cancer risks: a long-term follow-up of a British cohortI dos Santos Silva
Cancer Research UK Epidemiology and Genetics Group, Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Keppel Street, London WC1E 7HT, UK
Br J Cancer 100:1824-31. 2009..These findings do not support strong associations between ovulation-stimulation drugs and cancer risks, but they indicate the need for continued monitoring to establish whether risks are elevated in certain subgroups of users... - Screen-film mammographic density and breast cancer risk: a comparison of the volumetric standard mammogram form and the interactive threshold measurement methodsZoe Aitken
Department of Epidemiology and Population Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom
