Coffee and tea consumption and the risk of head and neck cancer: An updated pooled analysis in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology Consortium.

Introduction: The relations between coffee and tea consumption and head and neck cancer (HNC) incidence are unclear. With increasing global HNC burden, this study aims to examine the association between coffee, tea, and HNC.

Methods: A pooled analysis of 9548 HNC cases and 15,783 controls from 14 individual-level case-control studies was conducted from the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology consortium.

Mammography Among Women Residing in Urban Versus Rural Utah: Breast Cancer Survival.

Background: Annual or biennial breast cancer screenings are recommended for women 40 and older. Women residing in rural areas have worse breast cancer survival rates than urban women, but no study has focused on rural versus urban residence in Utah regarding breast cancer screening and mortality.

Methods: Cases (n = 14,516) were women aged > 39 diagnosed with a first primary invasive breast cancer between 1998 and 2017 in Utah.

The effect of body mass index at diagnosis on survival of patients with squamous cell head and neck carcinoma.

The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic role of body mass index (BMI) on survival from head and neck cancer (HNC). We performed a pooled analysis of studies included in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology consortium. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate the adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for overall survival and HNC-specific survival, and we stratified the results according to cancer site.

Disparities in childhood leukemia survival for Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

While some previous studies disaggregated the Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (ANHPI) population to investigate survival for childhood leukemia, further studies are needed to understand the differences between subpopulations. The aim of our study was to estimate 5-year relative survival for patients with childhood leukemia and to investigate disparities in prognostic factors with disaggregation of the ANHPI population. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program 17 database and included 1881 ANHPI patients with childhood leukemia and 8772 non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients with childhood leukemia.

Long-Term Cancer Outcomes Following Bariatric Surgery: A Comparative Analysis of Surgical Procedures.

: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is known to reduce cancer risk. However, the association between specific bariatric procedures and cancer incidence is not well-studied. This study examined the association between four different MBS procedures and cancer incidence.
