IMPORTANCE: Hormonal contraceptives are widely used but how breast cancer risk differs by hormonal content remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the difference in breast cancer risk associated with different hormonal contraceptive formul…
IMPORTANCE: Gynecological clear cell cancers (CCCs) are aggressive malignant neoplasms with low response rate to chemotherapy. The treatment of patients with metastatic disease remains an area of significant unmet need. OBJECTIVE: To evalu…
IMPORTANCE: Advanced clear cell gynecological cancers (CCGCs) have a poor prognosis, with response rates to second-line chemotherapy less than 8%. Preliminary clinical activity with programmed cell death 1 protein (PD-1) inhibitors reported…
IMPORTANCE: Most women with a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant undergo premature menopause with potential short- and long-term morbidity due to the current method of ovarian carcinoma prevention: risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). Becaus…
IMPORTANCE: Breastfeeding has been associated with a reduced risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in multiple studies, but others showed no association. Whether risk reduction extends beyond that provided by pregnancy alone or differs by histo…
IMPORTANCE: The overall low survival rate of patients with lung cancer calls for improved detection tools to enable better treatment options and improved patient outcomes. Multivariable molecular signatures, such as blood-borne microRNA (mi…
IMPORTANCE: Ovarian cancer is a highly fatal malignant neoplasm with few modifiable risk factors. Case-control studies have reported a modest reduced risk of ovarian cancer among women who frequently use aspirin or regularly use low-dose as…
IMPORTANCE: Although oral contraceptive (OC) use is common, the influence of OC use on carcinogenesis is not fully understood. A recent Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality report identified a need to understand the consistency of OC …
IMPORTANCE: The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding and reverse causa…
