TL;DR

This study provides robust genetic evidence that circulating 25(OH)D levels are not a major causal determinant of HNC risk and that the instruments are not confounded by major lifestyle or UV-related factors.

Triangulating Evidence on Serum Uric Acid and Cancer Risk: Consistent Inverse Associations With Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT We examined the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and cancer incidence through a conventional observational and two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study in the same population (triangulation). We followed 13,695 individuals aged 35–69 years for cancer incidence (total, gastric, colorectal, l...

Vitamin D deficiency and long-term risk of female genital cancer: a multicenter real-world cohort study

Background A growing body of evidence implicates vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in carcinogenesis, yet evidence linking VDD to female genital cancers remains inconsistent, with most studies evaluating individual cancer subtypes in isolation using heterogeneous designs. Methods We conducted a retrospective propensity score-...

Vitamin D and Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Serum 25(OH)D and dietary intake showed no significant pooled associations, whereas VDR FokI was associated with increased gastric cancer susceptibility, whereas the absence of paediatric evidence highlights an important knowledge gap.

Association Between Oral Cavity Cancer and Lymphoma: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Analysis

Purpose Emerging evidence suggests a potential association between oral cavity cancer (OCC) and lymphoma. This study aimed to investigate whether this association reflects a causal relationship. Materials and Methods A two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was utilized to screen genetic instrum...
