Background
Breast cancer survival is increasing, making late effects such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) more relevant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate incident CVD following breast cancer diagnosis among long‐term survivors and to investigate possible risk factors for CVD.
Methods
A population‐based cohort of 6641 breast cancer survivors diagnosed between 1997 and 2009 who survived...
Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disorder characterized by deterioration of bone tissue. The set of genetic factors contributing to osteoporosis is not completely specified. High‐risk osteoporosis pedigrees were analyzed to identify genes that may confer susceptibility to disease. Candidate predisposition variants were identified initially by whole exome sequencing of affected‐relative pairs, approximately...
Background
Limited data exist regarding which head and head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors will suffer from long‐term dysphagia.
Methods
From a population‐based cohort of 1901 Utah residents with HNC and ≥3 years follow‐up, we determined hazard ratio for dysphagia, aspiration pneumonia, or gastrostomy associated with various risk factors. We tested prediction models with combinations of factors...
Background
The number of head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors has been increasing because of improving survival in the United States. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of respiratory disease diagnoses in HNC survivors in comparison with cancer‐free individuals. A second aim was to investigate risk factors for respiratory disease among HNC survivors.
Methods
Patients with HNC diagnosed...
