High-dose aspirin consumption contributes to decreased risk for pancreatic cancer in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between aspirin intake and its effect for chemoprevention of pancreatic cancer incidence by using a meta-analysis method.

Methods: The databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Wangfang (Chinese database) were retrieved to identify eligible studies. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model.

Three adiponectin rs1501299G/T, rs822395A/C, and rs822396A/G polymorphisms and risk of cancer development: a meta-analysis.

Many epidemiological studies have studied the associations between adiponectin rs1501299G/T, rs822395A/C, and rs822396A/G polymorphisms and risk of cancer development, while conflicting results have been reported. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the associations. We retrieved the following databases: Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Wanfang, and the latest update date was 15th of August 2012.
