1. 16. Does cancer originate in utero?

   Författare :Magnus Kaijser; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Epidemiology; prenatal exposure delayed effects; breast neoplasms; testicular neoplasms; lung neoplasms; pregnancy; estrogens; estriol; low birth weight body weight; height; twins; matemal exposure; smoking; infant premature; small for gestational age.;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present thesis was to evaluate Trichopoulos' hypothesis that breast cancer can originate in utero, and to examine the role of antenatal estrogen exposure in the etiology of testicular cancer. First, we used data from a Swedish-Norwegian cohort study on risk factors for small-for-gestational-age births to identify markers for antenatal estrogen exposure. LÄS MER

3. 17. Complex disease genetics : Utilising targeted sequencing and homogeneous ancestry

   Författare :Argyri Mathioudaki; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Panagiotis Deloukas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ankylosing spondylitis; breast cancer; targeted sequencing; Sweden; genetics; population stratification.; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : The complex disease investigations presented in this thesis aimed to provide new information regarding underlying genetics by using targeted sequencing and ethnically homogeneous cohorts. This work moved past current methodologies and addressed data stratification issues, that might have been hindering new findings.

4. 18. Occupational exposure to chemicals and cancer

   Författare :Cecilia Videnros; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : We spend a lot of our time at work and the exposures in our work environment have a great influence on our health. Certain occupational groups, like firefighters, are exposed to a large number of chemicals and an increased risk of cancer has been reported in this group. LÄS MER

5. 19. Cancer and migration : epidemiological studies on relationship between country of birth, socio-economic position and cancer

   Författare :Omid Beiki; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Country of birth; immigrants; breast neoplasm; uterine cervical neoplasm; endometrial neoplasm; ovarian neoplasm; prostatic neoplasm; testicular neoplasm; socio-economic position; incidence; survival; Sweden;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Migrant studies offer a unique opportunity to analyze variation in disease occurrence due to background factors. The role of environmental and lifestyle exposures are of particular interest in cancer research, and migrant studies can be considered as "natural experiments" in epidemiological research. LÄS MER

7. 20. Flying personnel : cancer, acute myocardial infarction and mortality

   Författare :Anette Linnersjö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: Flying personnel are exposed to several factors in the work environment that can potentially increase their cancer incidence, mortality and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) incidence. The aim of this licentiate thesis is to study cancer incidence among Swedish cabin crew in relation to exposures in the work environment and to study mortality and AMI incidence in Swedish airline and military flying personnel.
