“…Inherent adjustments for potential confounding by age, sex, and calendar year were, however, made in the analyses. Direct information on other risk factors, ie, alcohol overconsumption, 22 tobacco smoking, 23 physical inactivity, 24 diabetes, 25 and family history, or protective factors such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, 26 were not available. Potential confounding by excess alcohol use and tobacco smoking was instead assessed indirectly through exclusion of persons hospitalized for diseases related to alcohol or tobacco.…”

“…5 Regular physical activity is associated with a lower risk of colon cancer, 8 and likely reduces risk for endometrial cancer 7 and breast cancer in postmenopausal women. 5 Tobacco use can increase risk for CRC, 9 and may modestly increase breast cancer risk based on findings from recent large prospective cohort studies. 10 Fruit and vegetable consumption 5,11 and dietary intake of fat 5 likely have little effect on breast cancer risk.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare health behaviors and cancer screening among Californians with and without a family history of cancer. Methods:We analyzed data from the 2005 California Health Interview Survey to ascertain cancer screening test use and to estimate the prevalence of health behaviors that may reduce the risk of cancer. We used logistic regression to control for demographic factors and health-care access.results: Women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer were more likely to be up to date with mammography as compared with women with no family history of cancer (odds ratio = 1.69, 95% confidence interval (1.39, 2.04)); their health behaviors were similar to other women. Men and women with a family history of colorectal cancer were more likely to be up to date with colorectal cancer screening as compared with individuals with no family history of cancer (odds ratio = 2.77, 95% confidence interval (2.20, 3.49)) but were less likely to have a body mass index <25 kg/m 2 (odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval (0.67, 0.94)).conclusion: Innovative methods are needed to encourage those with a moderate-to-strong familial risk for breast cancer and colorectal cancer to increase their physical activity levels, strive to maintain a healthy weight, quit smoking, and reduce alcohol use. 2013:15(3):212-221 Genet Med

“…Of these three cancers, cervical cancer is the only one definitively caused by tobacco use, according to the 2004 Surgeon General's Report on the Health Consequences of Smoking [12]; however, breast and colorectal cancers have also been associated with tobacco use in some evaluations [13,14]. Widely used screening tests are available for all three cancer sites [15].…”

Purpose-Persistent smoking among cancer survivors may increase their risk of subsequent malignancies, including tobacco-related malignancies. Despite these risks, nearly 40 % of women diagnosed with cervical cancer continue to smoke after diagnosis. This study describes the relative risk of developing any subsequent and tobacco-related malignancy among cervical cancer survivors.Methods-We examined data from the year 1992 to 2008 in 13 Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results registries. We calculated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and 95 % confidence limits (CLs) for all subsequent and tobacco-related malignancies among cervical cancer survivors. Tobacco-related malignancies were defined according to the 2004 Surgeon General's Report on the Health Consequences of Smoking. For comparison with cervical cancer survivors, SIRs for subsequent malignancies were also calculated for female survivors of breast or colorectal cancers.Results-The SIR of developing a subsequent tobacco-related malignancy was higher among cervical cancer survivors (SIR = 2.2, 95 % CL = 2.0-2.4). Female breast (SIR = 1.1, 95 % CL = 1.0-1.1) and colorectal cancer survivors (1.1, 1.1-1.2) also had an elevated risk. The increased risk of a subsequent tobacco-related malignancy among cervical cancer survivors was greatest in the first 5 years after the initial diagnosis and decreased as time since diagnosis elapsed.Conclusion-Women with cervical cancer have a two-fold increased risk of subsequent tobacco-related malignancies, compared with breast and colorectal cancer survivors. In an effort to decrease their risk of subsequent tobacco-related malignancies, cancer survivors should be targeted for tobacco prevention and cessation services. Special attention should be given to cervical cancer survivors whose risk is almost twice that of breast or colorectal cancer survivors.
