..Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) DNA has been reported in 0% to 25% of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) occurring in immunocompetent individuals. We conducted the first serologic case-control study of MCV and SCC...

..45-7.60; Q4 vs. Q1 for Hispanics: OR = 2.15, 95% CI = 0.76-6.04). In conclusion, the association between IGF-1 and breast cancer differed by ethnicity, while no ethnic differences were observed in IGFBP-3-associated breast cancer...

..To investigate the association between cigarette smoking and basal and squamous cell carcinomas (BCC and SCC) of the skin, a clinic-based case-control study was conducted in Tampa, FL...

..A nested case-control study was conducted to evaluate the association between prediagnostic JC virus antibodies and the risk of incident colorectal cancer and adenomas...

..Based on the current case series, the combinations of antibodies+eyebrow hairs or antibodies+eyebrow hairs+Dacron swabs are the optimal, minimally invasive markers of cutaneous HPV infection for use in epidemiologic studies...

..We conducted a case-control study in Delaware, incorporating detailed exposure assessment for active and secondhand smoke at home and in the workplace...

..MDS incidence rates significantly increased with calendar year in 2001 through 2004, and only 4% of patients were reported to registries by physicians' offices. Thus, MDS disease burden in the United States may be underestimated...

..54, 95% confidence interval: 0.37, 0.79). In this study, diabetes was not associated with breast cancer overall, although the inverse association with gestational diabetes warrants further investigation...

..Future studies are needed to further investigate constitutional telomere attrition as a possible predisposing factor for MDS...

..80-17.97]; ≥21 vs 0 partners), and number of male partners (HR, 4.53 [95% CI, 1.68-12.20]; ≥3 vs 0 partners). The results suggest that HPV types 6 and 11 and recent sexual behavior are strongly associated with incident condyloma...

..Cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) infection may be a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin...

....

..Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the most important environmental risk factor for NMSC. However, the precise relationship between UVR and the risk of NMSC is complex, and the relationship may differ by skin cancer type...

..Ultraviolet radiation exposure may interact synergistically with cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the development of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin...

..Little is known about the risk factors for cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) infection...

..We described the distribution of HPV types in incident GWs and estimated GW incidence and time from type-specific incident HPV infections to GW detection in a multinational cohort of men aged 18-70 years...

..8% of cases and 1.6% of controls (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.41-5.52). Our findings suggest that past infection with SV40 is not associated with an increased risk of developing NHL...

..The 6 BKV-positive tissues by QPCR were also positive by conventional PCR, but all stained negative for BKV T-Ag by immunohistochemistry. BKV is unlikely to be involved in the etiology of most bladder tumors...

..The goal in this study was to estimate incidence and clearance of type-specific genital HPV infection in men, and to assess the associated factors...

..While most non-registered MDS patients showed resource utilization and survival characteristics consistent with lower-risk MDS, a subset was registered as acute myeloid leukemia (7.6%) and accounted for early mortality...

..The objective of this study was to examine differences in incidence by histology and cancer stage in Florida stratified further by race, ethnicity, and 5-year time intervals...

....

..We investigated the variation in calibrated mammograms as a breast cancer risk factor and explored its relationship with other measures of breast density using full field digital mammography (FFDM)...

..MDS became reportable to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) in 2001. We report first study of MDS among large population in the Veteran Affair system...

..Evasion of NK immunosurveillance may have importance for MDS disease progression...

..The Total Cancer Care initiative has developed many of the capabilities and resources that are building the foundation of personalized medicine...

..Replication of these findings is needed to determine whether the reported associations are real or spurious...

..Age-stratification should be undertaken in larger investigations of IGF-I levels as predictors of postmenopausal breast cancer...

..Additional research is needed to determine whether JCV replication is decreased in individuals with NHL and whether these findings are consistent with an etiologic role for JCV in NHL...
