Lipiodol as a Fiducial Marker for Image-Guided Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer Open
Lipiodol constitutes a safe and effective fiducial marker that an urologist can use to demarcate a tumor bed immediately following maximal TURBT. Lipiodol decreases inter-observer variability in the definition of the extent and location of…

Methodological issues in detecting gene-gene interactions in breast cancer susceptibility: a population-based study in Ontario Open
The strategy used here has the potential to identify complex biological relationships among breast cancer genes and processes. This will lead to the discovery of novel biological information, which will improve breast cancer risk managemen…

SNP-SNP interactions in breast cancer susceptibility Open
Background Breast cancer predisposition genes identified to date (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2) are responsible for less than 5% of all breast cancer cases. Many studies have shown that the cancer risks associated with individual commonly occurri…

An inverse association between ovarian cysts and breast cancer in the breast cancer family registry Open
Ovarian cysts of several types are common in women of reproductive age. Their etiology is not well understood but is likely related to perturbations in the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal axis. The relationship of ovarian cysts to breast ca…

Genetic Variants of <b> <i>GPX1</i> </b> and <b> <i>SOD2</i> </b> and Breast Cancer Risk at the Ontario Site of the Breast Cancer Family Registry Open
There are several genes that code for enzymes, including various forms of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, that protect the cell against oxidative damage that, in turn, can lead to carcinogenesis. There are a few common gen…
