Overall obesity, abdominal adiposity, diabetes and cigarette smoking in relation to the risk of pancreatic cancer in two Swedish population-based cohorts.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined the associations of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, a history of diabetes, and cigarette smoking with risk of pancreatic cancer among 37,147 women and 45,906 men followed up during 560,666 person-years in the Swedish Mammography Cohort and the Cohort of Swedish Men; 136

Obesity, recreational physical activity, and risk of pancreatic cancer in a large U.S. Cohort.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity and physical activity, in part through their effects on insulin sensitivity, may be modifiable risk factors for pancreatic cancer. METHODS The authors analyzed data from the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort to examine the association between

Morbid obesity and subsequent pancreatic cancer: pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Morbid obesity is a recognized risk factor for gastrointestinal cancer. Little is known about pancreatic cancer developing after gastric bypass surgery or about surgery for this type of tumor following bariatric surgery. This report describes a case of pancreatic head cancer identified 3 months

[CORRELATION BETWEEN OBESITY AND PANCREATIC CANCER].

Only registered users can translate articles

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive tumor with a very poor prognosis, lack of early diagnostic symptoms and highly resistant to therapy. Its incidence is approximately equal to the mortality rate. Even though in recent years progress has been made in defining the morphological and key genetic

Interaction between IGF-1 polymorphisms and overweight for the risk of pancreatic cancer in Japanese.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although several reports have described a possible association between insulin-like growth factors-1 (IGF-1) and pancreatic cancer (PC) risk, this association has not been evaluated in the non-Caucasian population. To assess the impact of IGF-1 polymorphisms on PC risk in Japanese, we conducted a

Allergies, obesity, other risk factors and survival from pancreatic cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Survival from pancreatic adenocarcinoma remains extremely poor, approximately 5% at 5 years. Risk factors include smoking, high body mass index (BMI), family history of pancreatic cancer, and long-standing diabetes; in contrast, allergies are associated with reduced risk. Little is known about

Obesity and the risk of pancreatic cancer: an italian multicenter study.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to determine whether obesity is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. METHODS We studied 400 patients with this tumor and 400 controls matched for sex and age from various Italian cities. We used a standardized questionnaire that was compiled at personal

Pancreatic cancer in obesity: epidemiology, clinical observations, and basic mechanisms.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity, now a worldwide epidemic, causes myriad medical problems. One of the most significant obesity-related problems is the well-recognized relationship between obesity and various malignancies, including pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease--the annual death rate nearly

Obesity and Pancreatic Cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pancreatic cancer has few known risk factors, providing little in the way of prevention, and is the most rapidly fatal cancer with 7 % survival rate at 5 years. Obesity has surfaced as an important risk factor for pancreatic cancer as epidemiological studies with strong methodological designs have

Body mass index and obesity- and diabetes-associated genotypes and risk for pancreatic cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The genetic factors predisposing individuals with obesity or diabetes to pancreatic cancer have not been identified. OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypothesis that obesity- and diabetes-related genes modify the risk of pancreatic cancer. METHODS We genotyped 15 single nucleotide

The complexities of obesity and diabetes with the development and progression of pancreatic cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most lethal malignant diseases with the worst prognosis. It is ranked as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Many risk factors have been associated with PC. Interestingly, large numbers of epidemiological studies suggest that

Genes-environment interactions in obesity- and diabetes-associated pancreatic cancer: a GWAS data analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity and diabetes are potentially alterable risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Genetic factors that modify the associations of obesity and diabetes with pancreatic cancer have previously not been examined at the genome-wide level. METHODS Using genome-wide association studies (GWAS)

Obesity and survival in population-based patients with pancreatic cancer in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity has been consistently associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality. However, studies of obesity and overall survival in patients with pancreatic cancer are notably lacking, especially in population-based studies. METHODS Active and passive follow-up

Obesity, but not high-fat diet, promotes murine pancreatic cancer growth.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity accelerates pancreatic cancer growth; the mechanisms underlying this association are poorly understood. This study evaluated the hypothesis that obesity, rather than high-fat diet, is responsible for accelerated pancreatic cancer growth. METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice were studied

Obesity potentiates the growth and dissemination of pancreatic cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Obesity is an independent risk factor for pancreatic cancer development and progression, although the mechanisms underlying this association are completely unknown. The aim of the current study was to investigate the influence of obesity on pancreatic cancer growth using a novel in vivo
