Cancer incidence in Israeli Jewish survivors of World War II.

24 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Israeli Jews of European origin have high incidence rates of all cancers, and many of them were exposed to severe famine and stress during World War II. We assessed cancer incidence in Israeli Jewish survivors of World War II. METHODS: ... Read more...

Physical activity's impact on the association of fat and fiber intake with survival after breast cancer.

20 Oct 2009 This study examined whether, after a breast cancer diagnosis, high intake of animal fat was associated with increased breast cancer mortality and high intake of fiber was associated with decreased breast cancer mortality. Participants were 3,846 US ... Read more...

Genetic variation in the progesterone receptor and metabolism pathways and hormone therapy in relation to breast cancer risk.

19 Oct 2009 The relevance of progesterone to breast carcinogenesis is highlighted by evidence indicating that use of combined estrogen-progesterone therapy (EPT) is more strongly related to breast cancer risk than is use of unopposed estrogen therapy. However, ... Read more...
