Menée aux Etats-Unis auprès de 629 patients ayant survécu à un cancer, cette étude analyse les facteurs associés à une pratique tabagique ou au souhait d'arrêter le tabac

Prevalence and correlates of dual tobacco use in cancer survivors

Fahey, Margaret C. ; Bursac, Zoran ; Ebbert, Jon O. ; Klesges, Robert C. ; Little, Melissa A.

Purpose : Tobacco use in cancer survivors remains a significant problem, however, the use of non-cigarette tobacco products (NCTPs) in this population is less understood. This study examined prevalence and correlates of tobacco use among cancer survivors who were never, current, and former cigarette users. Tobacco-related behaviors and quitting attitudes were compared between survivors dually using cigarettes and electronic cigarettes (ECs) and cigarette-only users. Methods : In this [...]

Menée en Corée auprès de 166 810 participants âgés entre 40 et 79 ans, cette étude de cohorte analyse l'association entre des antécédents familiaux de cancer et des comportements liés à un risque de cancer (tabagisme, consommation d'alcool, inactivité physique, etc.), en fonction du sexe de l'individu

Association Between Health Behaviors and Family History of Cancer According to Sex in the General Population

Hwang, Minji ; Zhang, Hyun-Soo ; Park, Boyoung

Introduction : Family history of cancer and modifiable risk factors are each associated with cancer development, but no studies have assessed their association with each other by sex. This study aimed to examine modifiable risk factors in individuals with a family history of cancer compared with those without a family history of cancer, according to sex. Methods : This study recruited 166,810 participants aged 40–79 years from Korea's Health Examinee Study cohort between 2004 and 2014. Results [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir de données portant sur 433 patients ayant survécu à un cancer et sur 10 872 témoins, cette étude compare entre ces deux groupes les facteurs associés à l'utilisation de la cigarette électronique

Dual cigarette and e-cigarette use in cancer survivors: an analysis using Population Assessment of Tobacco Health (PATH) data

Symes, Yael R. ; Ribisl, Kurt M. ; Boynton, Marcella H. ; Westmaas, J. Lee ; Mayer, Deborah K. ; Golden, Shelley D.

Purpose : Cancer survivors who smoke cigarettes face health risks from continued smoking. Some smokers use e-cigarettes to reduce combustible cigarette use, but research on whether cancer survivors do the same is limited. Research is needed to understand whether smokers who are cancer survivors use e-cigarettes at higher rates than smokers never diagnosed with cancer, to inform provider-patient discussions about e-cigarettes. Methods : Using cross-sectional data from current cigarette smokers [...]

Cette étude passe en revue l'effet d'une consommation de tomates et de ses produits dérivés (jus, sauce, etc.) sur diverses pathologies, dont le cancer de la prostate

Beneficial Effects and Potential Risks Of Tomatoes Consumption For Human Health: An Overview

Salehi, Bahare ; Sharifi-Rad, Razieh ; Sharopov, Farukh ; Namiesnik, Jacek ; Roointan, Amir ; Kamle, Madhu ; Kumar, Pradeep ; Martins, Natália ; Sharifi-Rad, Javad

Tomato and its derived products have a very interesting nutritional value, besides to display prominent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. In terms of tomatoes consumption, it is quite safe to eat. However, its overall consumption varies from individual to individual. Indeed, either beneficial or harmful effects of plants or its derived products are closely related to its quality, including the presence of biologically active compounds. On the other hand, the synthesis [...]

A partir d'une revue de la littérature, cette étude analyse le rôle des probiotiques dans la prévention et le traitement des cancers du sein

Emerging Roles of Probiotics in Prevention and Treatment of Breast Cancer: A Comprehensive Review of Their Therapeutic Potential

Seyednejad, Seyed Afshin ; Azimi, Haniye ; Rezaeizadeh, Hossein ; Rahimi, Roja

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Need for novel preventive and curative approaches with more safety than the present one seems inevitable. This review is devoted to potentially favorable role of probiotics in prevention and treatment of breast cancer as well as their alleviating role regarding chemotherapy-induced side effects. Literature was searched for human, animal, and in vitro studies about the role of probiotics in breast cancer. In vitro studies showed that probiotic [...]

Cet article présente les critères choisis par le "National Cancer Institute" pour évaluer les actions de prévention et de lutte contre le cancer conduites par 15 centres de lutte américains

Standardizing Measurement of Social and Behavioral Dimensions of Cancer Prevention and Control to Enhance Outreach and Engagement in NCI-Designated Cancer Centers

Gage-Bouchard, Elizabeth A ; Rawl, Susan M.

In recent years, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has focused on the impact that NCI-designated cancer centers have in reducing the cancer burden in their defined catchment areas. In 2016, NCI funded 15 cancer center support grant supplements to support cancer centers' abilities to better define and describe their catchment areas and needs to enhance cancer prevention and control. As part of this initiative, a working group developed standardized measures to capture demographic, social, [...]

Menée au Royaume-Uni par enquête en ligne auprès de fumeurs, d'anciens fumeurs ou d'utilisateurs de la cigarette électronique, cette étude analyse les effets des réglementations mises en place entre 2016 et 2017 pour la cigarette électronique sur leurs comportements tabagiques

Awareness of changes in e-cigarette regulations and behaviour before and after implementation: A longitudinal survey of smokers, ex-smokers and vapers in the United Kingdom

Lee, Hyun S ; Wilson, Samara ; Partos, Timea ; McNeill, Ann ; Brose, Leonie S

Introduction : In line with the European Union’s Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), new regulations for e-cigarettes implemented in the UK between May 2016 and May 2017 included limiting refills to 10ml, tanks/cartridges to 2ml and nicotine concentrations to 20mg/ml. Aims: To investigate: 1) awareness of new regulations; 2) product use before and after implementation; 3) association between use of compliant products and subsequent smoking. Methods : UK online longitudinal survey of smokers, [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature (18 essais ; 9 017 participants), cette méta-analyse évalue l'intérêt d'utiliser des marqueurs génétiques pour aider au choix du traitement médicamenteux pour la cessation tabagique (bupropion, traitements de substitution à la nicotine, varénicline, etc.)

Smoking Cessation Pharmacotherapy Based on Genetically-Informed Biomarkers: What is the Evidence?

Panagiotou, Orestis A ; Schuit, Ewoud ; Munafò, Marcus R ; Bennett, Derrick A ; Bergen, Andrew W ; David, Sean P

Pharmacogenomic studies have used genetic variants to identify smokers likely to respond to pharmacological treatments for smoking cessation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of primary and secondary analyses of trials of smoking cessation pharmacotherapies. Eligible were trials with data on a priori selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), replicated nonSNP polymorphisms, and/or the nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR). We estimated the genotype-by-treatment interaction as [...]
