Summary: This study investigated the association between radiotherapy for breast cancer and the risk of lung cancer. The analysis of existing studies showed no significant association between breast cancer radiotherapy and lung cancer. Further randomized controlled trials are recommended to explore the potential risk of lung cancer after breast cancer radiotherapy, considering the limited number of studies and the variation in lung exposure worldwide.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate if patients treated with GLP-1RAs had a higher risk of breast neoplasms. The findings revealed that treatment with GLP-1RAs for obesity and diabetes does not increase the risk of breast neoplasms.

Summary: The study found that high diet quality is associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer, particularly with low Diet Inflammatory Index score and high Mediterranean Diet Score. However, concerns over inconsistency and imprecision led to the pooled results of all dietary indices being rated as low quality.

Summary: This study aimed to identify risk factors for breast cancer in Iranian women. The results showed that obesity, age at marriage, second-hand smoking, smoking, history of abortion, and oral contraceptive use were modifiable risk factors associated with increased breast cancer risk. Additionally, non-modifiable risk factors such as history of radiation exposure, family history of breast cancer, and early age at menarche were also associated with increased risk.

Summary: This meta-analysis study on Tirzepatide included 7 randomized controlled trials, and the findings suggest that using Tirzepatide in patients with T2D does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events.

Summary: This study explores the impact of comorbidity patterns on breast cancer risk. It identifies the unfavorable role of metabolic and breast disorders, as well as the protective effect of common surgical procedures. Family history also plays a role in comorbidity patterns. The findings suggest the importance of understanding these clusters of comorbidity for better patient and healthcare management.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between cadmium exposure and breast cancer incidence in women. The meta-analysis found that exposure to higher levels of cadmium increased the risk of breast cancer. Different exposure routes showed varied results, with dietary cadmium not linked to elevated risk but biomarker-based studies showing a non-significant increased risk. Rating: 8 out of 10

Summary: Using a meta-analysis approach, this study found that the G172T polymorphism in the RAD51 gene may be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, particularly in the Arab population. The association between the XRCC2 R188H polymorphism and breast cancer was not significant. The T241M polymorphism in XRCC3 may be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, especially in the Asian population.

Summary: This study investigated the levels of residual nitrite and nitrate in meat products in Iran and evaluated their health-related risks. The results showed that the levels of residual nitrite and nitrate in meat products were relatively low, indicating no significant carcinogenic risk for consumers in Iran.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that the crude FN risk associated with (neo)adjuvant TCH(P) is over 20%, recommending primary prophylaxis with G-CSF to reduce FN risk effectively. No significant differences in risk were observed between TCH and TCHP in the included studies, and age did not seem to significantly impact FN risk.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated whether fat grafting increases the risk of locoregional recurrence in patients formerly treated for breast cancer. The analysis found no statistically significant difference in disease recurrence between the lipofilling group and the control group among 4247 subjects.

Summary: A comprehensive review and meta-analysis was conducted on the association between meningioma and breast cancer, revealing a nearly 10-fold higher odds of breast cancer in female patients with meningioma compared with the general population. It is recommended to screen female patients with meningioma more intensively for breast cancer.

Summary: This meta-analysis observed an inverse and significant association between higher oxidative balance score (OBS) and the odds of colorectal cancer in case-control and cohort studies. However, the results did not support the hypothesis regarding prostate cancer in cohort studies. The study suggests the importance of diet and antioxidant balance in conditions of malignancy and recommends conducting more comprehensive studies with standard measurement methods to obtain conclusive results.
