Background At least 75% of head and neck cancers are attributable to a combination of
cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking. A precise understanding of the independent association …

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, with over one million
cases annually 1 . To identify genetic factors that modify disease risk, we conducted a genome-…

Using the International Project on Genetic Susceptibility to Environmental Carcinogens (GSEC)
database containing information on over 15,000 control (noncancer) subjects, the allele …

Background: Prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with small-cell lung cancer decreases
the overall rate of brain metastases without an effect on overall survival. It has been …

Three genetic loci for lung cancer risk have been identified by genome-wide association
studies (GWAS), but inherited susceptibility to specific histologic types of lung cancer is not well …

We conducted a multi-stage, genome-wide association study of bladder cancer with a
primary scan of 591,637 SNPs in 3,532 affected individuals (cases) and 5,120 controls of …

We conducted imputation to the 1000 Genomes Project of four genome-wide association
studies of lung cancer in populations of European ancestry (11,348 cases and 15,861 controls) …

Ten case‐control studies have been carried out in 6 European countries to investigate the
major risk factors for lung cancer. Carcinogenic effect from cigarette smoke was the most …

Muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) constitutes a heterogeneous group of tumors
with a poor outcome. Molecular stratification of MIBC may identify clinically relevant tumor …

Background Quitting tobacco or alcohol use has been reported to reduce the head and neck
cancer risk in previous studies. However, it is unclear how many years must pass following …
