BACKGROUND: There has been limited prior research on the association between infertility and risk of colorectal cancer. METHODS: Data from postmenopausal women in the Women's Health Initiative were used to estimate the association between …
BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested an association between infertility and risk of endometrial cancer. However, most studies have evaluated this relationship in premenopausal people, yet the mean age of endometrial cancer is 60 years…
PURPOSE: Although infertility (i.e., failure to conceive after ≥ 12 months of trying) is strongly correlated with established breast cancer risk factors (e.g., nulliparity, number of pregnancies, and age at first pregnancy), its association…
OBJECTIVE: Anti-Müllerian hormone is a reliable measure of ovarian reserve associated with menopause timing and fertility. Previous studies have observed that individuals with endometriosis have lower anti-Müllerian hormone levels than thos…
Limited estimates exist on risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in Asian, Hispanic, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander women. Participants in this study included 1734 Asian (n = 785 case and 949 control participants), 266 Nati…

Abstract The evidence for a greater prevalence of immunological-diseases among endometriosis patients has varied in robustness and been subject to selection bias. We investigated the phenotypic and genetic association between endometriosis …
Abstract PURPOSE: Women with endometriosis have a 2 to 3-fold greater risk of endometrioid and clear cell ovarian cancer than other women, based on estimates from studies predominantly of White women. Fibroids have not been consistently ass…
Generally, risk stratification models for cancer use effect estimates from risk/protective factor analyses that have not assessed potential interactions between these exposures. We have developed a 4-criterion framework for assessing intera…
