A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature (17 études de cohorte), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre une consommation de cigarettes, le risque de cancer de la prostate et la mortalité spécifique

Cigarette smoking and prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

Al-Fayez, Sarah ; El-Metwally, Ashraf

Introduction: Cigarette smoking is a well-known cancer-causing behavior and a leading cause of death from cancer. However, according to previously published research and meta-analyses, cigarette smoking has a significant inverse association with prostate cancer incidence. Therefore, this study aims to investigate this association based on updated evidence by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A search for relevant articles was performed in PubMed and Scopus databases to [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée jusqu'en janvier 2021 (109 études), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre le niveau de consommation de cigarettes (nombre et durée) et le risque de cancer du col de l'utérus

Malevolti, Maria Chiara ; Lugo, Alessandra ; Scala, Marco ; GALLUS, Silvano ; GORINI, Giuseppe ; Lachi, Alessio ; CARRERAS, Giulia

Objective: Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most frequent cancer worldwide. Cigarette smoking has been shown to influence CC risk in conjunction with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The aim of this study is to provide the most accurate and updated estimate of this association and its dose-response relationship. Methods: Using an innovative approach for the identification of original publications, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies published up to January 2021. [...]

Menée à partir de données portant sur 621 patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein après la ménopause et sur 621 témoins, cette étude analyse l'association entre les niveaux sériques de sulfonate de perfluorooctane et d'acide perfluorooctanoïque mesurés avant le diagnostic de cancer et le risque de développer la maladie par statut des récepteurs hormonaux (ER, PR)

Serum perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoate and risk of postmenopausal breast cancer according to hormone receptor status: An analysis in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial

Chang, Vicky C. ; Rhee, Jongeun ; Berndt, Sonja I. ; Moore, Steven C. ; Freedman, Neal D. ; Jones, Rena R. ; Silverman, Debra T. ; Gierach, Gretchen L. ; Hofmann, Jonathan N. ; Purdue, Mark P.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals that may contribute to breast cancer development; however, epidemiologic evidence is limited. We investigated associations between prediagnostic serum levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and postmenopausal breast cancer risk, overall and by hormone receptor status, in a nested case-control study of 621 cases and 621 matched controls in the Prostate, Lung, [...]

A partir d'une revue de la littérature publiée entre 2000 et 2022, cette étude fait le point sur le rôle du papillomavirus humain dans le développement des cancers

The complexity of human papilloma virus in cancers: a narrative review

Sofiani, Vahideh Hamidi ; Veisi, Parsa ; Rukerd, Mohammad Rezaei Zadeh ; Ghazi, Reza ; Nakhaie, Mohsen

Among human tumorigenic viruses, the role of Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been proven as one of the most important oncoviruses that are associated with a large number of cancers. Most cancers of the genital area such cervical and anal cancer as are caused by HPV, and in many other cancers, such as colorectal, gastric, liver, esophageal, urinary bladder, and head and neck cancers, it is considered as one of the important risk factors. Our search was conducted for published researches between [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature (144 articles), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre une infection par Trichomonas vaginalis et le risque de cancer du système reproductif

The correlation between Trichomonas vaginalis infection and reproductive system cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis) is a microaerophilic protozoan parasite which is responsible for trichomoniasis, the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection in the world. The infection greatly damages the reproductive system. However, whether T. vaginalis infection can cause reproductive system cancer remains controversial. Methods: This study systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid and Google scholar, and 144 relevant articles were retrieved and classified [...]
