Summary: Parental consanguinity is significantly associated with PTC, indicating that it is a risk factor for this type of thyroid cancer. This finding has implications for familial risk assessment and genetic counseling, particularly in populations with high rates of consanguinity.

Summary: This study found higher lead levels in the healthy tissues of breast cancer patients compared to cancerous tissues. Blood lead levels in breast cancer women did not differ significantly from the control group. Additionally, there were significantly higher triglyceride levels in the lipid profile of breast cancer patients, and triglycerides were identified as a significant predictor of breast cancer.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the development of breast cancer among Tanzanian black women. It found that older age at menopause is a significant risk factor for breast cancer development.

Summary: Breast cancer is strongly associated with factors such as gender, age, hormone therapy, smoking, exposure to endocrine disruptors, and family history. This study found significantly higher cadmium concentration in tumor tissue of breast cancer patients compared to healthy tissue, indicating a potential link between cadmium exposure and cancer development. Additionally, the study highlighted the role of oxidative stress as a critical mechanism in cadmium toxicity and its implications in breast cancer onset.

Summary: The study found that factors such as late menarche, long-term use of oral contraceptives, hormone contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, nulliparity, parental consanguinity marriage, and positive family history were all significantly associated with increased risk of breast cancer among women in the West Bank of Palestine. This highlights the importance of rationalizing the use of reproductive hormones, both for birth control and therapeutic purposes, particularly in this region.

Summary: The study did not find an overall association between serum PFAS concentrations and an increased risk of breast cancer; instead, many inverse associations between serum PFAS concentrations and breast cancer risk were discovered.

Summary: The use of antiplatelet drugs, including low-dose aspirin, clopidogrel, and dipyridamole, does not appear to be associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. However, there may be a potential inverse association between dipyridamole use and breast cancer risk in women under 55 years old.

Summary: This study investigated the association between TBBPA levels in breast adipose and breast cancer, as well as the mediating role of adipose metabolites. TBBPA was found to be significantly associated with breast cancer, and significant perturbation was observed in the linoleic acid metabolism pathway. The phospho-lipid PC (16:0/16:0) was identified as a potential mediator of the association between TBBPA exposure and breast cancer risks.

Summary: This study found an association between blood carnitine compounds and breast cancer through a retrospective case-control study. Higher levels of malonylcarnitine, decenoylcarnitine, and decadienoylcarnitine were associated with decreased odds of breast cancer, while higher levels of butyrylcarnitine were associated with increased odds of the disease.

Summary: A good lifestyle is associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer regardless of family history, while family history of early-onset cancer is closely related to the occurrence of gastric cancer. About 34% of gastric cancer cases can be attributed to non-compliance with three or more healthy lifestyle factors.

Summary: The study examined the association between parental consanguinity and schizophrenia in a rural south Indian community. Clinical interviews showed comparable rates of parental consanguinity between cases and controls, but DNA-based estimates revealed significantly higher 'f' values in schizophrenia cases. This suggests a potential role of multiple recessive risk alleles in the etiology of schizophrenia.

Summary: Breast cancer survivors experience long-term sequelae compared to the general population, indicating altered metabolic profiles after breast cancer. This study used metabolomics approaches to investigate metabolic differences between breast cancer patients and the general population, aiming to understand metabolic changes and identify potential targets for clinical interventions.

Summary: This study indicates that a high dietary inflammation score (DIS) and empirical dietary inflammatory index (EDII) are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer (BrCa), while there is no significant association with lifestyle inflammation score (LIS).

Summary: This review examines emerging evidence for the association of modifiable factors on mammographic breast density (MBD) and the influence of MBD on breast cancer risk, recommending that patients be counseled on modifiable risk factors to tailor breast cancer prevention strategies.

Summary: This study examined the pathological characteristics and risk factors for triple-negative breast cancer in a breast cancer cohort. The results showed that reproductive factors were not associated with triple-negative breast cancer, while obesity-related factors and lower socio-economic status might be associated with triple-negative breast cancer.
