Prostate cancer incidence and nutrition are closely connected and show large food-related differences. Lowest cancer incidence in Asian countries is observed under low-calorie, soy-based food. Mediterranean nutrition has cancer protective components (fruit, vegetables, oil, seafood). The highest cancer incidence in the United States goes along with high-calorie food, red meat and fat ingestion. Changes in lifestyle and nutrition can influence the cancer risk. Dietary supplements and vitamins are in wide use and part of a complementary and alternative medicine.

Background: Whether the intake of whole grain foods can protect against lung cancer is a long-standing question of considerable public health import, but the epidemiologic evidence has been limited. Therefore we aim to investigate the relationship between whole grain food consumption and lung cancer in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO) cohort.

Methods: Diet was assessed with a self-administered Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) at baseline.

Background: The delivery of cancer services changed significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to describe changes in presentations, assess the change in recommendations by the MDT during the pandemic, and describe the subsequent long-term impact of these changes on survival rates in patients with EG cancer.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was designed comparing three patient groups of those referred to EG MDT in the same 6-month period pre-pandemic (PP;2019) during the initial phase of the pandemic (P1;2020) and the year after the initial phase (P2;2021).

Recruiting participants for focus groups in health research: a meta-research study.

BMC Med Res Methodol

January 2025

Hannover Medical School (MHH), Institute for Epidemiology, Social Medicine and Health Systems Research, Carl-Neuberg-Street 1, 30625, Hannover, Germany.

Background: Focus groups (FGs) are an established method in health research to capture a full range of different perspectives on a particular research question. The extent to which they are effective depends, not least, on the composition of the participants. This study aimed to investigate how published FG studies plan and conduct the recruitment of study participants.

The impact of metabolic syndrome on hepatocellular carcinoma: a mendelian randomization study.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Medical Innovation Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, No. 17, Yongwai Main Street, Nanchang, 330006, Jiangxi, China.

Traditional epidemiological studies are susceptible to confounding factors. To clarify the impact of metabolic syndrome and its diagnostic components on hepatocellular carcinoma, we conducted a preliminary mendelian randomization analysis with metabolic syndrome and its diagnostic components as exposures and hepatocellular carcinoma as the outcome. Another set of genetic data related to hepatocellular carcinoma was used as a validation cohort, repeating the mendelian randomization analysis and combining the two groups for a meta-analysis.
