Ryan; Gapstur, Susan M.; Haiman, Christopher; Hankinson, Susan; Hazra, Aditi; Henderson, Brian; Hoover, Robert N.; Hunter, David J.; Joshi, Amit D.; Kraft, Peter; Le Marchand, Loic; Lindström, Sara; Willett, Walter; Travis, Ruth C.; Amiano, Pilar; Siddiq, Afshan; Trichopoulos, Dimitrios; Sund, Malin; Tjønneland, Anne; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Peeters, Petra H.; Panico, Salvatore; Dossus, Laure; Ziegler, Regina G.; Canzian, Federico; Kaaks, Rudolf (BioMed Central, 2015)
      Introduction: Breast cancer in situ (BCIS) diagnoses, a precursor lesion for invasive breast cancer, comprise about 20 % of all breast cancers (BC) in countries with screening programs. Family history of BC is considered ...

    • Genetic Variation in the Base Excision Repair Pathway, Environmental Risk Factors, and Colorectal Adenoma Risk 

      Corral, Roman; Lewinger, Juan Pablo; Joshi, Amit D.; Levine, A. Joan; Vandenberg, David J.; Haile, Robert W.; Stern, Mariana C. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Cigarette smoking, high alcohol intake, and low dietary folate levels are risk factors for colorectal adenomas. Oxidative damage caused by these three factors can be repaired through the base excision repair pathway (BER). ...

    • Identification and Characterization of a Novel Association between Dietary Potassium and Risk of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
