Cigar smoking and death from coronary heart disease in a prospective study of US menE J Jacobs
Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, GA 30329 4251, USA
Arch Intern Med 159:2413-8. 1999..Although cigarette smoking is known to be an important cause of coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality, the relationship between cigar smoking and CHD mortality is unclear...
Family history of cancer and risk of pancreatic cancer: a pooled analysis from the Pancreatic Cancer Cohort Consortium (PanScan)Eric J Jacobs
Department of Epidemiology, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, GA, USA
Int J Cancer 127:1421-8. 2010..47). Our results confirm a moderate sized association between a family history of pancreatic cancer and risk of pancreatic cancer and also provide evidence for an association with a family history of prostate cancer worth further study...
Cigarette smoking and colorectal cancer mortality in the cancer prevention study IIA Chao
Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, GA 30329 4251, USA
J Natl Cancer Inst 92:1888-96. 2000..Recent studies suggest that long-term cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Whether the association is causal or due to confounding remains unclear...
Effect of body mass on the association between estrogen replacement therapy and mortality among elderly US womenC Rodriguez
Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, GA 30329 4251, USA
Am J Epidemiol 153:145-52. 2001..In this population, the reduction in coronary heart disease mortality among estrogen users was greatest for thinner women. Additional studies are needed to confirm or refute these results...
Vitamin C and vitamin E supplement use and colorectal cancer mortality in a large American Cancer Society cohortE J Jacobs
Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia 30329-4251, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 10:17-23. 2001..28-0.81) and decreased risk of rectal cancer mortality at any age (rate ratio = 0.40; 95% CI, 0.20-0.80). Our results do not support a substantial effect of vitamin C or E supplement use on overall colorectal cancer mortality...
Body mass index, height, and prostate cancer mortality in two large cohorts of adult men in the United StatesC Rodriguez
Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia 30329-4251, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 10:345-53. 2001..82-1.29 for men > or =75 versus 65-66 inches). These results support the hypothesis that obesity increases risk of prostate cancer mortality. Decreased survival among obese men may be a likely explanation for this association...
Determinants of DNA yield and quality from buccal cell samples collected with mouthwashH S Feigelson
Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, National Home Office, Atlanta, Georgia 30329 4251, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 10:1005-8. 2001..These results suggest that buccal cells should be collected before brushing teeth and processed within 5 days of collection to maximize hDNA yield...
A prospective study of diet and stomach cancer mortality in United States men and womenM L McCullough
Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 10:1201-5. 2001..96; 95% CI, 1.09-3.53) and men (RR = 1.63; 95% CI, 1.02-2.62) compared with nonconsumers. This study supports a modest role for plant foods in reducing the risk of fatal stomach cancer in men, but not in women...
Multivitamin use and colon cancer mortality in the Cancer Prevention Study II cohort (United States)E J Jacobs
Department of Epidemiology and Surveillance Research, American Cancer Society, National Home Office, Atlanta, GA 30329-4251, USA
Cancer Causes Control 12:927-34. 2001..71, 95% CI 0.56-0.91). CONCLUSION: Our results are consistent with a modest reduction in colon cancer mortality associated with use of folic acid-containing multivitamins among moderate to heavy alcohol users...
