Alcohol consumption and genetic variation in methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase in relation to breast cancer riskMary E Platek
Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 18:2453-9. 2009..80; 95% CI, 1.03-3.28) compared with nondrinkers who were homozygote CC. Our findings indicate that among postmenopausal women, increased breast cancer risk with alcohol consumption may be as a result of effects on one-carbon metabolism...
Quantification of the effect of treatment duration on local-regional failure after definitive concurrent chemotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neckMary E Platek
Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York and Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health, New York University, New York, New York
Head Neck 35:684-8. 2013..The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of treatment duration on locoregional progression after definitive concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN)...
Alcohol consumption and breast tumor mitochondrial DNA mutationsMary E Platek
Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Elm and Carlton Streets, Buffalo, New York 14263, USA
Breast Cancer Res Treat 121:453-60. 2010..05, CI = 0.95-4.43, P = 0.07). Consistent with previous studies, we found that mtDNA mutations are a frequent occurrence in breast tumors. An understanding of the etiology of mtDNA mutations may provide insight into breast carcinogenesis...
Comparison of the prevalence of malnutrition diagnosis in head and neck, gastrointestinal, and lung cancer patients by 3 classification methodsMary E Platek
Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York 14263, USA
Cancer Nurs 34:410-6. 2011..Malnutrition is prevalent among patients within certain cancer types. There is lack of universal standard of care for nutrition screening and a lack of agreement on an operational definition and on validity of malnutrition indicators...
Improved survival following surgery and radiation therapy for olfactory neuroblastoma: analysis of the SEER databaseMary E Platek
Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York, USA
Radiat Oncol 6:41. 2011..Olfactory Neuroblastoma is a rare malignant tumor of the olfactory tract. Reports in the literature comparing treatment modalities for this tumor are limited...
Pretreatment nutritional status and locoregional failure of patients with head and neck cancer undergoing definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapyMary E Platek
Division of Cancer Prevention and Population Sciences, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York, USA
Head Neck 33:1561-8. 2011....
Effect modification by catalase genotype suggests a role for oxidative stress in the association of hormone replacement therapy with postmenopausal breast cancer riskSylvia K Quick
Department of Social, State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 17:1082-7. 2008..50-3.59). Increased risk was limited to estrogen receptor-positive tumors. Our findings suggest that CAT genotype modifies the effect of HRT use on breast cancer risk and that HRT may affect risk by affecting oxidative stress...
Promoter methylation of E-cadherin, p16, and RAR-β(2) genes in breast tumors and dietary intake of nutrients important in one-carbon metabolismMeng Hua Tao
Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, School of Public Health and Health Professions, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York 14214, USA
Nutr Cancer 63:1143-50. 2011..This finding, however, does not exclude the possibility that intake of such nutrients might have the ability to modulate promoter methylation in normal or premalignant (dysplastic) breast tissue...
Changes in vitamin D supplement use and baseline plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration predict 5-y change in concentration in postmenopausal womenMelissa A Kluczynski
Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, School of Public Health and Health Professions, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY, USA
J Nutr 142:1705-12. 2012..These data also suggest that this is especially true among aging women with inadequate 25(OH)D (e.g., <50 nmol/L)...
The role of dietary counseling and nutrition support in head and neck cancer patientsMary E Platek
Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health, New York University, New York 10012, USA
Curr Opin Support Palliat Care 6:438-45. 2012..The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence concerning the role of dietary counseling and nutrition support in head and neck cancer patients undergoing curative treatment...
