5. 3. The role of physical activity in the prevention of breast and endometrial cancer

   Author : Tahereh Moradi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : breast and endometrial neoplasms; exercise; occupational activity; leisure activity; body mass index; cohort; case-control;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore through epidemiologic studies the role of physical activity in preventing breast and endometrial cancer in women. First, we assessed risk for endometrial (Paper I) and breast (Paper II) cancer in relation to occupational physical activity in a large nationwide cohort generated through linkage between census data in 1960 and 1970 and the Cancer Register 1971-1989.

   Abstract : Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer. The 5-year survival is about 30%, a consequence of failure to establish early diagnosis due to unspecific symptoms. READ MORE

7. 5. Malignancies associated with gynecological cancer : epidemiological and etiological aspects

   Author : Kjell Bergfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Neoplasms; second primary; ovarian cancer; breast cancer.;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to analyze the incidence and risk of second primary malignancies (SPM) in a Swedish cohort of gynecological cancer patients, to explore suggested risk factors associated with second primary malignancies in ovarian cancer patients, and to evaluate the risk of ovarian cancer in a cohort of breast cancer patients in relation to family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Incidence of second primary malignancies in 15,200 gynecologicaI cancer patients were investigated in a register-based study and compared to age- and calendar-specific incidence for women in the general population.
