Familial Risk and Heritability of Colorectal Cancer in the Nordic Twin Study of Cancer
Rebecca E. Graff,Rebecca E. Graff,Sören Möller,Michael N. Passarelli,John S. Witte,Axel Skytthe,Kaare Christensen,Qihua Tan,Hans-Olov Adami,Hans-Olov Adami,Kamila Czene,Jennifer R.

TL;DR: Interindividual genetic differences could account for 40% of the variation in susceptibility to colorectal cancer; risk for colon and rectal cancers might have less of a genetic component than risk for coloreCTal cancer.

TL;DR: Taken together, the findings of independent risk variants, ethnic variation in existing SNP replication, and remaining unexplained heritability have important implications for further clarifying the genetic risk of prostate cancer.
BRAF Mutation Status and Survival after Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis According to Patient and Tumor Characteristics
Amanda I. Phipps,Daniel D. Buchanan,Karen W. Makar,Andrea N. Burnett-Hartman,Anna E. Coghill,Michael N. Passarelli,John A. Baron,Dennis J. Ahnen,Aung Ko Win,John D. Potter,Polly A. Newcomb +10 more
TL;DR: The results show that the prevalence of BRAF mutations in CRC differs by patient and tumor characteristics and suggest that the association between BRAF status and CRC survival may differ by some of these factors.

Scott V. Adams,Sabah M. Quraishi,Sabah M. Quraishi,Martin M. Shafer,Michael N. Passarelli,Michael N. Passarelli,Emily P. Freney,Rowan T. Chlebowski,Juhua Luo,Jaymie R. Meliker,Lina Mu,Marian L. Neuhouser,Marian L. Neuhouser,Polly A. Newcomb,Polly A. Newcomb +14 more
TL;DR: Little evidence is found that dietary cadmium is a risk factor for breast, endometrial, or ovarian cancers in postmenopausal women after adjustment for potential confounders including total dietary energy intake.

Alcohol consumption before and after breast cancer diagnosis: associations with survival from breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other causes.
Polly A. Newcomb,Ellen Kampman,Amy Trentham-Dietz,Kathleen M. Egan,Linda J. Titus,John A. Baron,John M. Hampton,Michael N. Passarelli,Walter C. Willett +8 more
TL;DR: Overall alcohol consumption before diagnosis was not associated with disease-specific survival, but a suggestion favoring moderate consumption was found, providing support for a benefit of limited alcohol intake for cardiovascular and overall survival in women with breast cancer.
