Estrogen and progesterone receptor levels in nonneoplastic breast epithelium of breast cancer cases versus benign breast biopsy controlsChristy G Woolcott
1Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96813, USA
BMC Cancer 8:130. 2008..The objective in this study was to compare the levels of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in nonneoplastic breast epithelium between breast cancer cases and biopsy controls...- Breast cancer risk and hysterectomy status: the Multiethnic Cohort studyChristy G Woolcott
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Cancer Causes Control 20:539-47. 2009..Because hysterectomy prevalence varies by ethnicity, the secondary objective was to examine whether inclusion of women with hysterectomies affects the estimates of breast cancer risk by ethnicity... - Association between breast cancer susceptibility loci and mammographic density: the Multiethnic CohortChristy G Woolcott
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Breast Cancer Res 11:R10. 2009..Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Our objective was to examine its association with polymorphisms identifying breast cancer susceptibility loci that were ascertained in recent genome-wide association studies... - Plasma sex hormone concentrations and breast cancer risk in an ethnically diverse population of postmenopausal women: the Multiethnic Cohort StudyChristy G Woolcott
Epidemiology Program, Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, USA
Endocr Relat Cancer 17:125-34. 2010..This study provides the best evidence to date that the association between sex hormones and breast cancer risk is generalizable to an ethnically diverse population... - Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the risk of colorectal cancer: the multiethnic cohort studyChristy G Woolcott
Epidemiology Program, Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:130-4. 2010..46). In summary, this study provides evidence of an association between vitamin D status and reduced risk of colorectal cancer in an ethnically diverse population... - IGF1, IGFBP1, and IGFBP3 genes and mammographic density: the Multiethnic CohortMartijn Verheus
Epidemiology Program, Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI
Int J Cancer 127:1115-23. 2010..Given the large number of SNPs tested and the few borderline significant results, we only found weak evidence that genetic variations in IGFBP1 or IGFBP3 may be related to mammographic density. Ethnicity may modify these relations... - Mammographic density and risk of breast cancer by adiposity: an analysis of four case-control studiesShannon M Conroy
University of Hawaii Cancer Center, Cancer Epidemiology Program, Honolulu, HI, USA
Int J Cancer 130:1915-24. 2012..Our findings indicate little, if any, modification by BMI of the effects of breast density on breast cancer risk... - Mammographic density change with 1 year of aerobic exercise among postmenopausal women: a randomized controlled trialChristy G Woolcott
Cancer Research Center of Hawai i, University of Hawai i, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:1112-21. 2010..Mammographic density, a secondary outcome, is reported here... - Mammographic density as a predictor of breast cancer outcomeGertraud Maskarinec
Cancer Research Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii, 1236 Lauhala Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, USA
Future Oncol 6:351-4. 2010..Future studies that incorporate additional risk factors, such as obesity, need to examine the role of mammographic density in larger patient populations before including breast density in treatment decision models...
