As expected, both within and among ethnic groups, the questionnaire data show substantial variations in dietary intakes and in the distributions of non-dietary risk factors (including smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and physical activity).
Design and analysis of randomized clinical trials requiring prolonged observation of each patient. II. analysis and examples.
Efficient methods of analysis of randomized clinical trials in which the authors wish to compare the duration of survival among different groups of patients are described.

This study provides strong evidence that the addition of a progestin to HRT enhances markedly the risk of breast cancer relative to estrogen use alone, and has important implications for the risk-benefit equation for HRT in women using CHRT.

Seven prostate cancer risk variants are identified, five of them previously undescribed, spanning 430 kb and each independently predicting risk for prostate cancer (P = 7.9 × 10−19 for the strongest association), and common genotypes that span a more than fivefold range of susceptibility to cancer in some populations are defined.

Choosing Haplotype-Tagging SNPS Based on Unphased Genotype Data Using a Preliminary Sample of Unrelated Subjects with an Example from the Multiethnic Cohort Study
We describe an approach for picking haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) that is presently being taken in two large nested case-control studies within a multiethnic cohort…

Type I and II endometrial cancers: have they different risk factors?
- V. Setiawan, Hannah P. Yang, P. Horn-Ross
- MedicineJournal of Clinical Oncology
- 10 July 2013
The results of this pooled analysis suggest that the two endometrial cancer types share many common etiologic factors, and the etiology of type II tumors may, therefore, not be completely estrogen independent, as previously believed.
