Genetic variation in nucleotide excision repair pathway genes, pesticide exposure and prostate cancer riskKathryn Hughes Barry
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD 20892 7240, USA
Carcinogenesis 33:331-7. 2012..09). In contrast, we did not observe associations among men with other genotypes at these loci. While requiring replication, our findings suggest a role for NER genetic variation in pesticide-associated prostate cancer risk...
Methyl bromide exposure and cancer risk in the Agricultural Health StudyKathryn Hughes Barry
Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, 6120 Executive Blvd, Bethesda, MD 20892 7240, USA
Cancer Causes Control 23:807-18. 2012..Although many countries have reduced methyl bromide use because of its ozone depleting properties, some uses remain in the United States and other countries, warranting further investigation of human health effects...
Genetic variation in base excision repair pathway genes, pesticide exposure, and prostate cancer riskKathryn Hughes Barry
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Rockville, Maryland 20892 7240, USA
Environ Health Perspect 119:1726-32. 2011..Previous research indicates increased prostate cancer risk for pesticide applicators and pesticide manufacturing workers. Although underlying mechanisms are unknown, evidence suggests a role of oxidative DNA damage...
Genetic variation in metabolic genes, occupational solvent exposure, and risk of non-hodgkin lymphomaKathryn Hughes Barry
Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Am J Epidemiol 173:404-13. 2011..77, 95% CI: 1.06, 2.97; P(interaction) = 0.06). In contrast, no effect was observed among AG/GG women. Additional studies with larger sample size are needed to replicate these findings...
Risk of total and aggressive prostate cancer and pesticide use in the Agricultural Health StudyStella Koutros
Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, 6120 Executive Boulevard, EPS 8115, MSC 7240, Rockville, MD 20852, USA
Am J Epidemiol 177:59-74. 2013..Furthermore, this is the first time specific pesticides are implicated as risk factors for aggressive prostate cancer...
