First- and second-degree family history of ovarian and breast cancer in relation to risk of invasive ovarian cancer in African American and white women.
International journal of cancer ·doi:10.1002/ijc.33493

Family history (FH) of ovarian cancer and breast cancer are well-established risk factors for ovarian cancer, but few studies have examined this association in African American (AA) and white women by histotype. We assessed first- and secon…

Ovarian Cancer in Women of African Ancestry (OCWAA) consortium: a resource of harmonized data from eight epidemiologic studies of African American and white women.
Cancer causes & control : CCC ·doi:10.1007/s10552-019-01199-7

PurposeAlthough the incidence rate of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is somewhat lower in African American (AA) than white women, survival is worse. The Ovarian Cancer in Women of African Ancestry (OCWAA) consortium will overcome small, st…

Racial/ethnic differences in the epidemiology of ovarian cancer: a pooled analysis of 12 case-control studies
International journal of epidemiology ·doi:10.1093/ije/dyx252

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer incidence differs substantially by race/ethnicity, but the reasons for this are not well understood. Data were pooled from the African American Cancer Epidemiology Study (AACES) and 11 case-control studies in the …

2017
Dietary inflammatory index and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in African American women.
International journal of cancer ·doi:10.1002/ijc.30467

Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the development of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC); yet the contribution of inflammatory foods and nutrients to EOC risk has been understudied. We investigated the association between the dietary …

Lifetime number of ovulatory cycles and epithelial ovarian cancer risk in African American women.
Cancer causes & control : CCC ·doi:10.1007/s10552-017-0853-7

PurposeIncessant ovulation has been consistently linked to epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Although reproductive characteristics differ substantially by race, the association between incessant ovulation and EOC has been evaluated only in p…

2017
Premenopausal Hysterectomy and Risk of Ovarian Cancer in African-American Women.
American Journal of Epidemiology ·doi:10.1093/aje/kwx055

Although the inverse association between hysterectomy and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) was considered well established, investigators in recent studies including women diagnosed after 2000 have observed modest increases in risk. Most stu…

Tubal ligation and ovarian cancer risk in African American women.
Cancer causes & control : CCC ·doi:10.1007/s10552-017-0943-6

PurposeTubal ligation has been associated with reduced risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in studies of primarily white women, but less is known about the association in African American (AA) women. We sought to evaluate the associatio…

2016
Analgesic medication use and risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in African American women.
British journal of cancer ·doi:10.1038/bjc.2016.39

BackgroundExisting literature examining analgesic medication use and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk has been inconsistent, with the majority of studies reporting an inverse association. Race-specific effects of this relationship have …

Association between Body Powder Use and Ovarian Cancer: The African American Cancer Epidemiology Study (AACES).
Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology ·doi:10.1158/1055-9965.epi-15-1281

BackgroundEpidemiologic studies indicate increased ovarian cancer risk among women who use genital powder, but this has not been thoroughly investigated in African American (AA) women, a group with a high prevalence of use. We evaluate the …
