A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée entre 1972 et 2022, cette étude fait le point sur le risque de cancer du poumon chez les pompiers

Factors associated with lung cancer among firefighters: a systematic literature review

Kang, Augustine W. ; Lui, Natalie S.

This short review addresses the pressing issue of lung cancer among firefighters, a population facing unique occupational hazards such as smoke inhalation and asbestos exposure. With lung cancer being a leading global cause of death, the study emphasizes the disproportionate burden on firefighters. Notably, wildfire smoke, containing carcinogenic elements, poses a rising significant threat to firefighters’ respiratory health. Despite evidence linking firefighting to increased lung cancer risk, [...]

Menée à l'aide de données 1990-2018 de registres portant sur 22 millions d'enfants, cette étude analyse l'association entre des malformations congénitales et le risque de carcinome pédiatrique thyroïdien, hépatocellulaire et rénal (833 cas)

Background: Birth defects are associated with childhood cancer, but little is known regarding pediatric carcinomas, a group of especially rare tumors. Methods: We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) for any carcinoma, as well as thyroid, hepatocellular, and renal carcinoma specifically, up to 18 years of age among children with major, non-syndromic anomalies or chromosomal/genetic syndromes, relative to unaffected [...]

Menée à partir de données de la base nationale néerlandaise de pathologie portant sur 97 106 personnes, cette étude analyse l'association entre des changements métaboliques et/ou anthropométriques et le risque de cancer de la peau (4 195 cas)

Change in Metabolic Markers and the Risk of Skin Cancer: Results from the Lifelines Cohort Study in the Netherlands

Shimelash, Michael ; Sidorenkov, Grigory ; van der Vegt, Bert ; Jalving, Mathilde ; Rácz, Emőke ; de Bock, Geertruida H.

Background: Skin-cancers are the most common cancers in Caucasians, and their incidence is rising. Although metabolic and anthropometric markers play a role in cancer development, the relationship of metabolic and anthropometric changes with skin-cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to examine possible associations between these changes and the risk of skin-cancer. Methods: Participants without prior skin-cancer history from the Northern-Netherlands representative of the general population [...]

Menée à partir de données portant sur 9 950 femmes ménopausées sans antécédent de cancer (durée de suivi : 27 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre le tissu adipeux viscéral abdominal, le tissu adipeux sous-cutané et le risque de cancer du sein post-ménopausique (738 cas)

Abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue associations with postmenopausal breast cancer incidence

Bea, Jennifer W ; Ochs-Balcom, Heather M ; Valencia, Celina I ; Chen, Zhao ; Blew, Robert M ; Lind, Kimberly E ; Caan, Bette J ; Roe, Denise J ; Rohan, Thomas E ; Reeves, Katherine W ; Manson, JoAnn E ; Ballinger, Tarah ; Reding, Kerryn W ; Follis, Shawna ; Ziller, Shelby G ; Odegaard, Andrew O

Obesity, classified by body mass index (BMI), is associated with higher postmenopausal breast cancer (BCa) risk. Yet, the associations between abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) with BCa are unclear.We assessed BCa associations with abdominal VAT and SAT in a prospective cohort of postmenopausal women without a history of cancer and with 27 years follow-up (N = 9950), during which all new cancers were adjudicated. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans assessed [...]
