Use of Fertility Drugs and Risk of Malignant Melanoma: Results from a Large Danish Population-Based Cohort Study

Linn Freund, Susanne K. Kjaer, Sonia Guleria, Vanna Albieri, Anne-Marie Nybo Andersen, Kirsten Frederiksen, Allan Jensen

Summary: The study found that the use of fertility drugs was associated with a modestly increased risk of malignant melanoma, especially among women with fertility challenges. The specific types of fertility drugs were also found to be possibly linked to an increased risk of malignant melanoma, although the association did not reach statistical significance.

A prospective cohort analysis of residential radon and UV exposures and malignant melanoma mortality in the Swiss population

Seckin Boz, Claudia Berlin, Marek Kwiatkowski, Murielle Bochud, Jean-Luc Bulliard, Marcel Zwahlen, Martin Roosli, Danielle Vienneau

Summary: The study found an association between residential radon exposure and melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer mortality, with the association weakening with age. There was a linear trend between radon exposure and skin cancer mortality, and outdoor occupation increased the risk of melanoma mortality associated with UV exposure.

The Danish HIV Birth Cohort (DHBC)-a nationwide, prospective cohort

Nina Weis, Terese L. Katzenstein, Mathilde Orbaek, Merete Storgaard, Gitte Pedersen, Isik S. Johansen, Ellen Moseholm

Summary: The Danish HIV Birth Cohort (DHBC) aims to investigate the impact of HIV infection during pregnancy and after delivery in women living with HIV in Denmark, as well as their children. Findings reveal that HIV-exposed, but uninfected children born to these women have higher risks of low birth weight and intrauterine growth retardation compared to children born to the general population. Future plans include continued research on the significance of HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy in pregnant women living with HIV and their children, comparing these findings with children born to the general population.

Citrus Consumption and Risk of Melanoma: A Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies

Xuexian Fang, Dan Han, Jun Yang, Fulun Li, Xinbing Sui

Summary: Citrus consumption is associated with an increased risk of malignant melanoma. Higher consumption of total citrus products or citrus fruits is related to an elevated risk of melanoma, while citrus juice consumption does not show a significant association with melanoma risk. The risk of melanoma increases by 9% and 12% for each additional serving per day of total citrus or citrus fruit consumption, respectively.

The Thousand Faces of Malignant Melanoma: A Systematic Review of the Primary Malignant Melanoma of the Esophagus

Gerardo Cazzato, Eliano Cascardi, Anna Colagrande, Teresa Lettini, Leonardo Resta, Cinzia Bizzoca, Francesca Arezzo, Vera Loizzi, Miriam Dellino, Gennaro Cormio, Nadia Casatta, Carmelo Lupo, Antonio Scillimati, Salvatore Scacco, Paola Parente, Lucia Lospalluti, Giuseppe Ingravallo

Summary: This article provides a systematic review of primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) in terms of its history, epidemiology, treatment, and future research directions. PMME is an extremely rare form of esophageal cancer that has been subject to debate regarding its existence. Over time, more cases have been reported, increasing knowledge and paving the way for discussions on treatment. Currently, surgery remains the primary treatment approach, but new therapeutic strategies, such as nivolumab, are being explored. Future studies with large case series, including clinicopathological and molecular data, are needed to improve the outcome of PMME patients.

Summary: This study found no overall association between habitual dietary flavonoid intake and the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). However, stratified analysis by sex and smoking status showed that higher intakes of specific subclasses of flavonoids were associated with a lower risk of IHD among ever-smokers, but not among never-smokers or either sex specifically.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between dietary protein intake and prostate cancer risk and mortality. The results suggest that dairy protein and yogurt protein are positively associated with prostate cancer risk, while egg protein may be positively associated with prostate cancer mortality. However, considering the weak associations and many tests conducted, these results should be interpreted with caution.

The results showed a positive association between smoking and SIC, while vegetable intake and total fat intake were inversely associated with SIC. However, factors such as physical activity, alcohol intake, red or processed meat, dairy products, and fiber intake were not associated with SIC.

Summary: The food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) is a commonly used method in nutritional epidemiology to assess an individual's habitual dietary intake. This study evaluated the validity and reproducibility of the FFQ used in the DCH-NG cohort. Results showed that the FFQ provided satisfactory rankings of energy, nutrient, and food group intakes, making it suitable for epidemiological studies investigating diet and disease outcomes.

Summary: A study found that adherence to the Mediterranean diet lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes, and objectively assessed adherence had a stronger association than self-reported adherence. The study used biomarkers to assess the actual effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet and found that higher adherence was associated with lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. This research is of importance in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and reducing the burden on the population.

Risk of epithelial ovarian tumors among women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A nationwide population-based cohort study

Clarissa L. B. Frandsen, Pernille F. Svendsen, Bugge Nohr, Jakob H. Viuff, Thomas Maltesen, Susanne K. Kjaer, Allan Jensen

Summary: There is a potential association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and epithelial ovarian tumors due to shared risk factors. However, previous studies have shown conflicting results and methodological limitations. A population-based cohort study in Denmark was conducted to investigate this association. While there was no overall association, postmenopausal women with PCOS had an increased risk of ovarian cancer and women with PCOS had an increased risk of serous borderline ovarian tumors compared to those without PCOS. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings.
