hidden">Background: Family history and African-American race are important risk factors for both prostate cancer (CaP) incidence and aggressiveness. When studying complex diseases such as CaP that have a heritable component, chances of finding true disease susceptibility alleles can be increased by accounting for genetic ancestry within the population investigated. Race, ethnicity and ancestry were studied in a geographically diverse cohort of men with newly diagnosed CaP. Methods: Individual ancestry (IA) was estimated in the population-based North Carolina and Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP), a cohort of 2,106 incident CaP cases (2063 with complete ethnicity information) comprising roughly equal numbers of research subjects reporting as Black/African American (AA) or European American/Caucasian/Caucasian American/White (EA) from North Carolina or Louisiana. Mean genome wide individual ancestry estimates of percent African, European and Asian were obtained and tested for differences by state and ethnicity (Cajun and/or Creole and Hispanic/ Latino) using multivariate analysis of variance models. Principal components (PC) were compared to assess differences in genetic composition by self-reported race and ethnicity between and within states. Results: Mean individual ancestries differed by state for self-reporting AA (p = 0.03) and EA (p = 0.001). This geographic difference attenuated for AAs who answered ''no'' to all ethnicity membership questions (non-ethnic research subjects; p = 0.78) but not EA research subjects, p = 0.002. Mean ancestry estimates of self-identified AA Louisiana research subjects for each ethnic group; Cajun only, Creole only and both Cajun and Creole differed significantly from self-identified nonethnic AA Louisiana research subjects. These ethnicity differences were not seen in those who self-identified as EA. Conclusions: Mean IA differed by race between states, elucidating a potential contributing factor to these differences in AA research participants: self-reported ethnicity. Accurately accounting for genetic admixture in this cohort is essential for future analyses of the genetic and environmental contributions to CaP.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="63bf671c79ff5a96dca2644b7eb04d53" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":78217147,"asset_id":67379212,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/78217147/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="67379212"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="67379212"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 67379212;

Environmental and occupational agents are causes of cancer and disease worldwide while their control and the reduction of the associated disease burden remains complex. Materials and methods. This paper summarizes the current status of the burden of environmental and occupational causes of disease in the Americas based on presentations from a panel on environment, occupation and other environmental risk factors for cancer in the Americas, delivered in Panama, at the international conference Promoting Health Equity and Transnational Collaborations for the Prevention and Control of Cancer in the Americas. Results. Three case studies are presented to illustrate the impact of specific environmental and occupational agents and the challenge of control. Conclusions. There are still fully avoidable exposures to carcinogens, as well documented in the case of asbestos in Brazil. Thus, there are abundant targets for intervention to reduce cancer in the Americas.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="25e0105c5b3109dcbe43fa1e1a04f715" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":72953866,"asset_id":58642971,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72953866/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642971"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642971"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642971;

The main reason to conduct a longitudinal study is to analyze repeated measures; research subjects who drop out cannot be replaced easily. Our group recently investigated factors affecting nonparticipation (refusal) in the first wave of a population-based study of prostate cancer. In this study we assess factors affecting attrition in the second wave of the same study. We compare factors affecting nonparticipation in the second wave to the ones affecting nonparticipation in the first wave.

The association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness was examined separately in Black Americans (Blacks) and White Americans (Whites). The study population consisted of 305 Black and 195 White research participants with incident prostate cancer and self-reported diabetes from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project. High-aggressive prostate cancer was defined using a composite measure of Gleason sum, prostate-specific antigen, and clinical stage. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between metformin use and high-aggressive prostate cancer at diagnosis, separately among Whites and Blacks, with adjustment for age, screening history, site, education, insurance, and body mass index. Metformin use was associated positively with high-aggressive prostate cancer in Blacks (OR 2.01; 95% CI 1.05, 3.83). By contrast, a weak inverse association between metformin use and high-aggressive prostate cancer was found in Whites (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.34, 1.85).

Data on female non-Hispanic white (NHW), non-Hispanic black (NHB), and Hispanic stage I-III breast cancer patients diagnosed in 2011 were obtained from a project to enhance population-based National Program of Cancer Registry data for Comparative Effectiveness Research. Hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) were used to classify subtypes: HR+/HER2-; HR+/HER2+; HR-/HER2-; and HR-/HER2 + . We used multivariable logistic regression models to examine the association of race/ethnicity with three outcomes: chemotherapy (yes, no), neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (yes, no), and delayed chemotherapy (yes, no). Covariates included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, Charlson Comorbidity Index, other cancer treatment, and participating states/areas. The study included 25,535 patients (72.1% NHW, 13.7% NHB, and 14.2% Hispanics). NHB with HR+/HER2- (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.22, 95% CI 1.04-1.42) and Hispanics with HR-/HER2- (aOR 1.62, 95% CI 1.15-2.28) were more likely to receive chemotherapy than their NHW counterparts. Both NHB and Hispanics were more likely to receive delayed chemotherapy than NHW, and the pattern was consistent across each subtype. No racial/ethnic differences were found in the receipt of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Compared to NHW with the same subtype, NHB with HR+/HER2- and Hispanics with HR-/HER2- have higher odds of using chemotherapy; however, they are more likely to receive delayed chemotherapy, regardless of subtype. Whether the increased chemotherapy use among NHB with HR+/HER2- indicates overtreatment needs further investigation. Interventions to improve the timely chemotherapy among NHB and Hispanics are warranted.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642968"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642968"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642968; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=58642968]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=58642968]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642968; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='58642968']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=58642968]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":58642968,"title":"Racial/ethnic differences in the utilization of chemotherapy among stage I-III breast cancer patients, stratified by subtype: Findings from ten National Program of Cancer Registries states","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/58642968/Racial_ethnic_differences_in_the_utilization_of_chemotherapy_among_stage_I_III_breast_cancer_patients_stratified_by_subtype_Findings_from_ten_National_Program_of_Cancer_Registries_states","owner_id":35098446,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":35098446,"first_name":"Elizabeth","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Fontham","page_name":"ElizabethFontham","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-09-20T14:59:41.555-07:00","display_name":"Elizabeth Fontham","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/ElizabethFontham"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="58642966"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/58642966/Calcium_magnesium_and_whole_milk_intakes_and_high_aggressive_prostate_cancer_in_the_North_Carolina_Louisiana_Prostate_Cancer_Project_PCaP_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Calcium, magnesium, and whole-milk intakes and high-aggressive prostate cancer in the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP)" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/72953999/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/58642966/Calcium_magnesium_and_whole_milk_intakes_and_high_aggressive_prostate_cancer_in_the_North_Carolina_Louisiana_Prostate_Cancer_Project_PCaP_">Calcium, magnesium, and whole-milk intakes and high-aggressive prostate cancer in the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP)</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The American journal of clinical nutrition</span><span>, 2018</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Calcium and dairy product intakes have been positively associated with prostate cancer risk.

The causes for alterations in HRQoL in PCa survivors have not been thoroughly explored either, limiting insight regarding potential means to improve their quality of life. Using a large sample of approximately equal numbers of Caucasian-American (CA) and African-American (AA) PCa survivors, the Quality of Life in Prostate Cancer Project (Q-PCaP) is designed to determine if there is a disparity in HRQoL between these groups. Furthermore, QPCaP will determine to what extent certain factors, specifically Healthy Life Behaviors (HLBs), socioeconomic determinants and cultural characteristics of AA and CA PCa survivors affect HRQoL and provide an explanation for any potential disparities observed. Approach: Q-PCaP is a follow-up study built upon a population-based study, the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP). PCaP enrolled men with newlydiagnosed PCa from specific regions of these two states from September 2004 through August 2009. Q-PCaP is designed to collect follow up HRQoL data from the Louisiana cohort of PCaP 3-6 years after their initial baseline interview. Subjects' current HLBs, social, economical, physical and emotional status, including prostate-related symptoms and other comorbidities, as well as their selfreported experience regarding PCa treatment and health care, will be collected via telephone interviews. The presence and degree of any disparity in the HRQoL between AA and CA PCa survivors will be evaluated. Results: The study will generate a rich archive of follow-up data for a well-characterized population-based cohort of men with PCa to improve understanding of the determinants and disparities in HRQoL. Primary data collection activities are expected to continue through January 2013, yielding approximately 900 enrolled PCa survivors. Conclusion: HLBs are potentially modifiable factors affecting the HRQoL of PCa survivorship. Identifying those that contribute the most to HRQoL and instituting interventions to alter "unhealthy" behaviors may make it possible to not only improve overall HRQoL of PCa survivors, but to reduce racial disparities.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="d7ef199d12ca77ede4f34eef3864134f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":72953865,"asset_id":58642963,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72953865/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642963"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642963"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642963;

Response rates have continued to fall over the past decade despite all efforts to increase participation. Many factors have been linked to reduced response, yet relatively few studies have employed multivariate approaches to identify characteristics that differentiate respondents from nonrespondents since it is hard to collect information on the latter. We aimed to assess factors contributing to enrollment of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We combined data from the North Carolina-Louisiana (LA) PCa Project&#39;s LA cohort, with additional sources such as US census tract and LA tumor registry data. We included specific analyses focusing on blacks, a group often identified as hard to enroll in health-related research. The ability to study the effect of Hurricane Katrina, which occurred amidst enrollment, as a potential determinant of nonresponse makes our study unique.

Here we evaluate the independent association between diabetes and obesity with prostate cancer aggressiveness in White Americans and Black Americans. Our cross-sectional, case-only study consisted of 1,058 White Americans and 991 Black Americans from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer (PCaP) project. Diabetes status was determined by self-report. Obesity was determined using body mass index and calculated based on anthropometric measurements. High aggressive prostate cancer was defined as Gleason sum ≥8, or prostate-specific antigen &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;20 ng/ml, or Gleason sum = 7 and clinical stage cT3-cT4. The association between diabetes and obesity with high aggressive prostate cancer at diagnosis was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression and adjusted for potential confounders. Diabetes was not associated with high aggressive prostate cancer in the overall sample (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.79, 1.37), White Americans (OR 1.00; 95% CI 0.65, 1.57) or Black Americans (OR 1.07; 95% CI 0.75, 1.53). Obesity, independent of diabetes, was positively associated with high aggressive prostate cancer in White Americans (OR 1.98; 95% CI 1.14, 3.43), but not in the overall sample (OR 1.37; 95% CI 0.99, 1.92) or Black Americans (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.71, 1.67). Diabetes was not associated with prostate cancer aggressiveness, overall, or in either race group. Obesity, independent of diabetes, was associated with high aggressive prostate cancer only in White Americans.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642958"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642958"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642958;

A population-based case-control study of lung cancer termed Lower Mississippi River Interagency Cancer Study was conducted in southern Louisiana. Lung tumor specimens were collected, isolated by laser capture microdissection, subjected to PCR to amplify KRAS, and sequenced to confirm mutation status and specificity. Of the 116 lung tumors analyzed to date, 32 (27.6%) contained mutations in either codon 12 or 13 of KRAS. This frequency is comparable to that reported in the literature; however, the mutation spectrum was strikingly different. Of the 32 mutations observed, 21 (65.6%) resulted in the inappropriate insertion of cysteine, 6 (18.8%) resulted in the insertion of serine, 3 (9.4%) resulted in the insertion of valine, and 1 (3.1%) each resulted in the insertion of aspartate and alanine. These data indicate that an abnormally high proportion of cysteine (P ‫؍‬ 0.010) and serine (P ‫؍‬ 0.002) mutations was observed in our sample group versus lung cancers reported in the literature. KRAS mutations were more common in African Americans with an odds ratio of 2.4 (P ‫؍‬ 0.048), as were serine mutations, although the latter did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio, 2.6; P ‫؍‬ 0.373). No association was found between the observed mutation spectrum and known lung cancer risk factors.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="664f88d9cf00f2d8eefe926cbda483ab" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":72954002,"asset_id":58642952,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72954002/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642952"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642952"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642952;

We examined the association between statin use and PC aggressiveness in Caucasians (CA) and African Americans (AA), and explored effect modification by health-seeking behaviors associated with statin use. Of 1,930 cases from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP), 344 (18%) were classified as aggressive based on clinical criteria. Utilizing non-aggressive cases as referent, logistic regression was used to examine the association between statin use and PC aggressiveness, overall and stratified by race.

When studying complex diseases such as CaP that have a heritable component, chances of finding true disease susceptibility alleles can be increased by accounting for genetic ancestry within the population investigated. Race, ethnicity and ancestry were studied in a geographically diverse cohort of men with newly diagnosed CaP. Methods: Individual ancestry (IA) was estimated in the population-based North Carolina and Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP), a cohort of 2,106 incident CaP cases (2063 with complete ethnicity information) comprising roughly equal numbers of research subjects reporting as Black/African American (AA) or European American/Caucasian/Caucasian American/White (EA) from North Carolina or Louisiana. Mean genome wide individual ancestry estimates of percent African, European and Asian were obtained and tested for differences by state and ethnicity (Cajun and/or Creole and Hispanic/ Latino) using multivariate analysis of variance models. Principal components (PC) were compared to assess differences in genetic composition by self-reported race and ethnicity between and within states. Results: Mean individual ancestries differed by state for self-reporting AA (p = 0.03) and EA (p = 0.001). This geographic difference attenuated for AAs who answered ''no'' to all ethnicity membership questions (non-ethnic research subjects; p = 0.78) but not EA research subjects, p = 0.002. Mean ancestry estimates of self-identified AA Louisiana research subjects for each ethnic group; Cajun only, Creole only and both Cajun and Creole differed significantly from self-identified nonethnic AA Louisiana research subjects. These ethnicity differences were not seen in those who self-identified as EA. Conclusions: Mean IA differed by race between states, elucidating a potential contributing factor to these differences in AA research participants: self-reported ethnicity. Accurately accounting for genetic admixture in this cohort is essential for future analyses of the genetic and environmental contributions to CaP.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="63bf671c79ff5a96dca2644b7eb04d53" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":78217147,"asset_id":67379212,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/78217147/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="67379212"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="67379212"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 67379212;

Environmental and occupational agents are causes of cancer and disease worldwide while their control and the reduction of the associated disease burden remains complex. Materials and methods. This paper summarizes the current status of the burden of environmental and occupational causes of disease in the Americas based on presentations from a panel on environment, occupation and other environmental risk factors for cancer in the Americas, delivered in Panama, at the international conference Promoting Health Equity and Transnational Collaborations for the Prevention and Control of Cancer in the Americas. Results. Three case studies are presented to illustrate the impact of specific environmental and occupational agents and the challenge of control. Conclusions. There are still fully avoidable exposures to carcinogens, as well documented in the case of asbestos in Brazil. Thus, there are abundant targets for intervention to reduce cancer in the Americas.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="25e0105c5b3109dcbe43fa1e1a04f715" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":72953866,"asset_id":58642971,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72953866/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642971"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642971"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642971;

The accumulation of attrition over several waves can lower the sample size and power and create a final sample that could differ in characteristics than those who drop out. The main reason to conduct a longitudinal study is to analyze repeated measures; research subjects who drop out cannot be replaced easily. Our group recently investigated factors affecting nonparticipation (refusal) in the first wave of a population-based study of prostate cancer. In this study we assess factors affecting attrition in the second wave of the same study. We compare factors affecting nonparticipation in the second wave to the ones affecting nonparticipation in the first wave. Information available on participants in the first wave was used to model attrition. Different sources of attrition were investigated separately. The overall and race-stratified factors affecting attrition were assessed.

However, whether race modifies the association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness remains uncertain. The association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness was examined separately in Black Americans (Blacks) and White Americans (Whites). The study population consisted of 305 Black and 195 White research participants with incident prostate cancer and self-reported diabetes from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project. High-aggressive prostate cancer was defined using a composite measure of Gleason sum, prostate-specific antigen, and clinical stage. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between metformin use and high-aggressive prostate cancer at diagnosis, separately among Whites and Blacks, with adjustment for age, screening history, site, education, insurance, and body mass index. Metformin use was associated positively with high-aggressive prostate cancer in Blacks (OR 2.01; 95% CI 1.05, 3.83). By contrast, a weak inverse association between metformin use and high-aggressive prostate cancer was found in Whites (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.34, 1.85). The association between metformin use and prostate cancer aggressiveness may be modified by race.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642969"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642969"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642969;

Data on female non-Hispanic white (NHW), non-Hispanic black (NHB), and Hispanic stage I-III breast cancer patients diagnosed in 2011 were obtained from a project to enhance population-based National Program of Cancer Registry data for Comparative Effectiveness Research. Hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) were used to classify subtypes: HR+/HER2-; HR+/HER2+; HR-/HER2-; and HR-/HER2 + . We used multivariable logistic regression models to examine the association of race/ethnicity with three outcomes: chemotherapy (yes, no), neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (yes, no), and delayed chemotherapy (yes, no). Covariates included patient demographics, tumor characteristics, Charlson Comorbidity Index, other cancer treatment, and participating states/areas. The study included 25,535 patients (72.1% NHW, 13.7% NHB, and 14.2% Hispanics). NHB with HR+/HER2- (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.22, 95% CI 1.04-1.42) and Hispanics with HR-/HER2- (aOR 1.62, 95% CI 1.15-2.28) were more likely to receive chemotherapy than their NHW counterparts. Both NHB and Hispanics were more likely to receive delayed chemotherapy than NHW, and the pattern was consistent across each subtype. No racial/ethnic differences were found in the receipt of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Compared to NHW with the same subtype, NHB with HR+/HER2- and Hispanics with HR-/HER2- have higher odds of using chemotherapy; however, they are more likely to receive delayed chemotherapy, regardless of subtype. Whether the increased chemotherapy use among NHB with HR+/HER2- indicates overtreatment needs further investigation. Interventions to improve the timely chemotherapy among NHB and Hispanics are warranted.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642968"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642968"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642968; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=58642968]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=58642968]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642968; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='58642968']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=58642968]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":58642968,"title":"Racial/ethnic differences in the utilization of chemotherapy among stage I-III breast cancer patients, stratified by subtype: Findings from ten National Program of Cancer Registries states","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/58642968/Racial_ethnic_differences_in_the_utilization_of_chemotherapy_among_stage_I_III_breast_cancer_patients_stratified_by_subtype_Findings_from_ten_National_Program_of_Cancer_Registries_states","owner_id":35098446,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":35098446,"first_name":"Elizabeth","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Fontham","page_name":"ElizabethFontham","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-09-20T14:59:41.555-07:00","display_name":"Elizabeth Fontham","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/ElizabethFontham"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="58642966"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/58642966/Calcium_magnesium_and_whole_milk_intakes_and_high_aggressive_prostate_cancer_in_the_North_Carolina_Louisiana_Prostate_Cancer_Project_PCaP_"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Calcium, magnesium, and whole-milk intakes and high-aggressive prostate cancer in the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP)" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/72953999/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/58642966/Calcium_magnesium_and_whole_milk_intakes_and_high_aggressive_prostate_cancer_in_the_North_Carolina_Louisiana_Prostate_Cancer_Project_PCaP_">Calcium, magnesium, and whole-milk intakes and high-aggressive prostate cancer in the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP)</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>The American journal of clinical nutrition</span><span>, 2018</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Calcium and dairy product intakes have been positively associated with prostate cancer risk.

The causes for alterations in HRQoL in PCa survivors have not been thoroughly explored either, limiting insight regarding potential means to improve their quality of life. Using a large sample of approximately equal numbers of Caucasian-American (CA) and African-American (AA) PCa survivors, the Quality of Life in Prostate Cancer Project (Q-PCaP) is designed to determine if there is a disparity in HRQoL between these groups. Furthermore, QPCaP will determine to what extent certain factors, specifically Healthy Life Behaviors (HLBs), socioeconomic determinants and cultural characteristics of AA and CA PCa survivors affect HRQoL and provide an explanation for any potential disparities observed. Approach: Q-PCaP is a follow-up study built upon a population-based study, the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP). PCaP enrolled men with newlydiagnosed PCa from specific regions of these two states from September 2004 through August 2009. Q-PCaP is designed to collect follow up HRQoL data from the Louisiana cohort of PCaP 3-6 years after their initial baseline interview. Subjects' current HLBs, social, economical, physical and emotional status, including prostate-related symptoms and other comorbidities, as well as their selfreported experience regarding PCa treatment and health care, will be collected via telephone interviews. The presence and degree of any disparity in the HRQoL between AA and CA PCa survivors will be evaluated. Results: The study will generate a rich archive of follow-up data for a well-characterized population-based cohort of men with PCa to improve understanding of the determinants and disparities in HRQoL. Primary data collection activities are expected to continue through January 2013, yielding approximately 900 enrolled PCa survivors. Conclusion: HLBs are potentially modifiable factors affecting the HRQoL of PCa survivorship. Identifying those that contribute the most to HRQoL and instituting interventions to alter "unhealthy" behaviors may make it possible to not only improve overall HRQoL of PCa survivors, but to reduce racial disparities.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="d7ef199d12ca77ede4f34eef3864134f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":72953865,"asset_id":58642963,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72953865/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642963"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642963"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642963;

We aimed to assess factors contributing to enrollment of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. We combined data from the North Carolina-Louisiana (LA) PCa Project&#39;s LA cohort, with additional sources such as US census tract and LA tumor registry data. We included specific analyses focusing on blacks, a group often identified as hard to enroll in health-related research.

Here we evaluate the independent association between diabetes and obesity with prostate cancer aggressiveness in White Americans and Black Americans. Our cross-sectional, case-only study consisted of 1,058 White Americans and 991 Black Americans from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer (PCaP) project. Diabetes status was determined by self-report. Obesity was determined using body mass index and calculated based on anthropometric measurements. High aggressive prostate cancer was defined as Gleason sum ≥8, or prostate-specific antigen &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;20 ng/ml, or Gleason sum = 7 and clinical stage cT3-cT4. The association between diabetes and obesity with high aggressive prostate cancer at diagnosis was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression and adjusted for potential confounders. Diabetes was not associated with high aggressive prostate cancer in the overall sample (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.79, 1.37), White Americans (OR 1.00; 95% CI 0.65, 1.57) or Black Americans (OR 1.07; 95% CI 0.75, 1.53). Obesity, independent of diabetes, was positively associated with high aggressive prostate cancer in White Americans (OR 1.98; 95% CI 1.14, 3.43), but not in the overall sample (OR 1.37; 95% CI 0.99, 1.92) or Black Americans (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.71, 1.67). Diabetes was not associated with prostate cancer aggressiveness, overall, or in either race group. Obesity, independent of diabetes, was associated with high aggressive prostate cancer only in White Americans.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642958"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642958"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642958;

A population-based case-control study of lung cancer termed Lower Mississippi River Interagency Cancer Study was conducted in southern Louisiana. Lung tumor specimens were collected, isolated by laser capture microdissection, subjected to PCR to amplify KRAS, and sequenced to confirm mutation status and specificity. Of the 116 lung tumors analyzed to date, 32 (27.6%) contained mutations in either codon 12 or 13 of KRAS. This frequency is comparable to that reported in the literature; however, the mutation spectrum was strikingly different. Of the 32 mutations observed, 21 (65.6%) resulted in the inappropriate insertion of cysteine, 6 (18.8%) resulted in the insertion of serine, 3 (9.4%) resulted in the insertion of valine, and 1 (3.1%) each resulted in the insertion of aspartate and alanine. These data indicate that an abnormally high proportion of cysteine (P ‫؍‬ 0.010) and serine (P ‫؍‬ 0.002) mutations was observed in our sample group versus lung cancers reported in the literature. KRAS mutations were more common in African Americans with an odds ratio of 2.4 (P ‫؍‬ 0.048), as were serine mutations, although the latter did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio, 2.6; P ‫؍‬ 0.373). No association was found between the observed mutation spectrum and known lung cancer risk factors.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="664f88d9cf00f2d8eefe926cbda483ab" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":72954002,"asset_id":58642952,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/72954002/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="58642952"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="58642952"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 58642952;

We examined the association between statin use and PC aggressiveness in Caucasians (CA) and African Americans (AA), and explored effect modification by health-seeking behaviors associated with statin use. Of 1,930 cases from the North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project (PCaP), 344 (18%) were classified as aggressive based on clinical criteria. Utilizing non-aggressive cases as referent, logistic regression was used to examine the association between statin use and PC aggressiveness, overall and stratified by race. Smoking and PC screening were examined as effect modifiers of this association. There was an inverse association between statin use and PC aggressiveness (OR 0.74; 95%CI 0.56-0.96), with comparable effect estimates in both races.
