Identifying modifiable risk factors that contribute to cancer is essential in setting up preventive strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the number and proportion of cancer cases and deaths attributable to five behavior-related risk factors—tobacco smoking, second-hand smoking, alcohol consumption, high body mass index and insufficient physical activity in Vietnam in 2020. Population attributable fractions were calculated for relationships of risk factors and cancer types based [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis par enquête réalisée sur la période 2018-2019 auprès de 8 072 personnes, cette étude analyse leur perception des risques vis-à-vis du tabac et des cigarettes électroniques et examine les comportements tabagiques en fonction de l'âge

Older age is associated with greater misperception of the relative health risk of e-cigarettes and cigarettes among US adults who smoke

Dana Rubenstein ; Rachel L Denlinger-Apte ; Jennifer Cornacchione Ross ; Dana Mowls Carroll ; F Joseph McClernon

Introduction: The prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults aged ≥55 has remained stagnant over the past decade. National data modelling suggests no reduction in cigarette smoking prevalence attributable to e-cigarette use in the USA among people aged ≥45. Misperceptions about the absolute risks (ie, cigarettes are not harmful) and relative risks (ie, e-cigarettes are more harmful than cigarettes) of tobacco products may contribute to sustained smoking prevalence and hesitancy to switch from [...]

Menée à partir de données de questionnaires portant sur 170 312 adultes (durée moyenne de suivi : 19,6 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre des régimes à base de plantes et le risque de carcinome hépatocellulaire (722 cas)

Kim, Jihye ; Setiawan, Veronica Wendy ; Wilkens, Lynne R. ; Le Marchand, Loic ; Park, Song-Yi

Background: Plant-based dietary patterns assessed by a priori indices are associated with various health outcomes, but rarely have been examined in relation to liver cancer. Objective: This study investigated the associations between plant-based diets and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and evaluated whether the associations vary by sex and race and ethnicity. Methods: Data were from a total of 170,321 African American, Japanese American, Latino, Native Hawaiian, and White adults aged [...]

Cette étude fait le point sur les stratégies de chimioprévention disponibles et sur les critères de choix pour des patientes présentant des lésions mammaires à haut risque ou un cancer du sein de stade précoce

Endocrine Therapy for Primary and Secondary Prevention After Diagnosis of High-Risk Breast Lesions or Preinvasive Breast Cancer

Alison Laws ; Rinaa S. Punglia

Patients with high-risk breast lesions (HRLs) or preinvasive breast cancers face an elevated risk of future breast cancer diagnoses. Endocrine therapy in this setting reduces the risk of a future diagnosis but does not confer improved survival, thus the side effects of primary/secondary prevention must be considered relative to the benefits. Here, we discuss the available chemoprevention regimens for patients with HRLs and considerations for selecting a regimen, as well as the decision making [...]
