Correlation of Cervical Cancer Mortality with Reproductive and Dietary Factors, and Serum Markers in China

Abstract

Although limitations of these ecologic data preclude causal inferences, findings in this study, including associations with HSV-2 infection, early age at first birth, consumption of green vegetables and animal foods, may provide clues to cervical cancer aetiology.

The association between BMI and cervical cancer risk

“…Epidemiological studies have indicated that obesity and overweight are associated with risk for many cancers (Guo et al, 1994). The association between BMI and breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers has already been addressed (Cheraghi et al, 2012;Poorolajal et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2014).…”

Factors affecting uptake of cervical cancer screening among Chinese women in New Zealand

“…Invasive cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in mainland China [1]. Several studies have suggested that Chinese women living in North America have higher incidence rates of cervical cancer than the general population [2,3], and that this higher prevalence is due in part to inadequate cervical screening [4,5].…”

Body mass predicts the survival of patients with new international federation of gynecology and obstetrics stage IB1 and IB2 cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy

“…Several measures have been developed to quantitate obesity, including a body mass index (BMI) and a ponderal index (PI). [2][3][4][5] The BMI is defined as the patient's weight (kg) divided by the height (meters 2 ). A high BMI indicates larger patients, whereas a lower BMI indicates smaller patients.…”

“…The advantages of using these indices to measure obesity are that they are based on both weight and height and provide an adequate measure of body fat. 4,5 We evaluated the impact of body mass on survival and morbidity for patients with new International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Stage IB1 and IB2 6,7 cervical carcinoma managed with radical hysterectomy.…”

“…4,[13][14][15] Body mass has been studied in connection with cervical carcinoma mortality in China. 5 Data on body mass and its impact on the survival and morbidity of patients with cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy is sparse. 1,16 We recently analyzed a series of patients with Stage IB1 and IB2 cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy, and we found that weight alone was not an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality.…”
