Predictors of colorectal cancer screening: a comparison of men and women.
The study found screening for colorectal cancer in average-risk adults was infrequent in this sample and lagged behind screening for other cancers. They suggested that educational programs might afford more…
Dietary patterns with combined and site-specific cancer incidence in Alberta’s Tomorrow Project cohort
This study used data from the Alberta’s Tomorrow Project to examine the association between dietary patterns derived with two methods, and combined and site-specific cancer incidence in Canada….
Burden of multimorbidity and polypharmacy among cancer survivors: a population-based nested case–control study
The purpose of this study was to investigate if adult cancer survivors showed more than one comorbidity while taking medications. The article found multimorbities in 53% of cancer survivors. Those…
The Genetic and Molecular Analyses of RAD51C and RAD51D Identifies Rare Variants Implicated in Hereditary Ovarian Cancer from a Genetically Unique Population
This study aimed to identify specific genetic mutations associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer. The mutations they discovered were found in many early-onset cases, particularly RAD51D, suggesting their role…
Combinations of modifiable lifestyle behaviours in relation to colorectal cancer risk in Alberta’s Tomorrow Project
…associated with the risk of developing colorectal cancer. The team identified 7 unique behaviours where the cancer risk was 2.34-2.87 times higher for the high-risk groups than the low-risk groups….
Co-consumption of Vegetables and Fruit, Whole Grains, and Fiber Reduces the Cancer Risk of Red and Processed Meat in a Large Prospective Cohort of Adults from Alberta’s Tomorrow Project
This study examined whether co-consumption of red and processed meat with key foods items and food constituents recommended for cancer prevention (vegetables and fruit, whole grains, and fiber) mitigates cancer…
Five-year absolute risk estimates of colorectal cancer based on CCRAT model and polygenic risk scores: A validation study using the Quebec population-based cohort CARTaGENE
This study aimed to assess the Colorectal Cancer Risk Assessment tool’s predictive performance alongside three polygenic risk scores to predict the occurrence of colorectal cancer within five years. Using data…

…with colon cancer due to lack of fibre. The study showed that 66-67% of men and 73-78% of women did not have enough fibre in their diets. As such, the…
A statistical testing strategy accounting for random and nonrandom (skewed) X-chromosome inactivation identifies lung cancer susceptibility loci among smokers
The research used 9,261 participants from the CARTaGENE cohort to identify susceptibility loci for lung cancer among current and past smokers. X chromosome-wide statistical analysis identified two SNPs in low-linkage…
Prevalence of meeting physical activity guidelines for cancer prevention in Alberta
…ACS, USDHHS, WCRF/AICR). Women were less likely to reach certain guidelines than men were. Study concluded that people in Alberta, mostly women were not active enough for cancer prevention benefits….
