Disinfection By-Products in Drinking Water and Bladder Cancer: Evaluation of Risk Modification by Common Genetic Polymorphisms in Two Case–Control Studies Open
We found novel suggestive evidence for a multiplicative interaction between a putative bladder carcinogen, TTHMs, and genotypes of rs907611. Given the ubiquitous exposure to THMs, further work is needed to replicate and extend this finding…

Drinking water disinfection byproducts and ingested nitrate with the risk of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women Open
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Disinfection by-products (DBPs) and {N}-nitroso compounds, formed endogenously after nitrate/nitrite ingestion, are suspected endometrial carcinogens but epidemiologic studies are limited. We investigated their relation…

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes defined by common translocations: Utility of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in a case–control study Open
We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays to identify t(14;18) translocations in archival paraffin-embedded tumor sections from non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases enrolled in a population-based study. t(14;18) was identified i…

IARC Monographs: 40 Years of Evaluating Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans Open
Background: Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Programme for the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans has been criticized for several of its evaluations, and also for the approach used to perform these e…

A case–control study of tobacco use and other non-occupational risk factors for lymphoma subtypes defined by t(14; 18) translocations and bcl-2 expression Open
We re-evaluated reported associations between tobacco use and other factors and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) t(14;18)-subtypes based on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays believed to be more sensitive than polymerase chain reac…

Lifetime exposure to disinfection by-products and risk of cancer at six anatomic sites in Iowa, USA Open
Background: Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are suspected risk factors for multiple cancers. In our population-based case-control study in Iowa, we previously found moderate risks of bladder, brain, and rectal (but not colon, kidney, or pa…

Insecticide use and risk of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes: A subset meta‐analysis of the North American Pooled Project Open
Insecticide use has been linked to increased risk of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), however, findings of epidemiologic studies have been inconsistent, particularly for NHL subtypes. We analyzed 1690 NHL cases and 5131 controls in the North Am…

Glyphosate use and associations with non-Hodgkin lymphoma major histological sub-types: findings from the North American Pooled Project Open
Objectives Some epidemiological studies have suggested positive associations between glyphosate use and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but evidence is inconsistent and few studies could evaluate histological sub-types. Here, associations betw…
