Cancer Causes Control . 2024 May; 35(9):1283-1295. PMID: 38772931
Purpose: Hysterectomy is associated with subsequent changes in circulating hormone levels, but the evidence of an association for tubal ligation is unclear. We evaluated whether circulating concentrations of androgens and...

OGrady T, Rinaldi S, Michels K, Adami H, Buring J, Chen Y, et al.
Int J Epidemiol . 2023 Dec; 53(1). PMID: 38110618
Background: The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is higher in women than in men but whether sex steroid hormones contribute to this difference remains unclear. Studies of reproductive and...

Frias-Gomez J, Alemany L, Benavente Y, Clarke M, de Francisco J, De Vivo I, et al.
Sleep Med Rev . 2023 Sep; 72:101848. PMID: 37716022
Data on the role of circadian related factors in the etiology of endometrial cancer are scarce. We collected individual data on night shift work or daily sleep duration from 7,207...

Dunietz G, Shedden K, Michels K, Chervin R, Lyu X, Freeman J, et al.
Am J Epidemiol . 2023 Mar; 192(7):1093-1104. PMID: 36928293
Variability in sleep duration and cardiovascular health have been infrequently investigated, particularly among reproductive-age women. We examined these associations across the menstrual cycle among a cohort of 250 healthy premenopausal...

Michels K, Weinstein S, Albert P, Black A, Brotzman M, Diaz-Mayoral N, et al.
Biopreserv Biobank . 2023 Jan; 21(5):467-476. PMID: 36622937
Sample handling can influence biomarker measurement and introduce variability when combining data from multiple studies or study sites. To inform the development of blood collection protocols within a multisite cohort...

Sponholtz T, Palmer J, Rosenberg L, Chen C, Chen Y, Clarke M, et al.
Cancer Causes Control . 2022 Nov; 34(5):421-430. PMID: 36418803
Purpose: The incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) has been increasing faster among Black women than among other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Although the mortality rate is nearly twice...

Saint-Maurice P, Sampson J, Michels K, Moore S, Loftfield E, McClain K, et al.
JNCI Cancer Spectr . 2021 Sep; 5(4). PMID: 34476340
Background: Physical activity is associated with lower risk for endometrial cancer, but the extent to which the association is mediated by body mass index (BMI) in midlife is unclear. This...

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev . 2021 Sep; 30(11):2030-2037. PMID: 34465588
Background: Postmenopausal pregnenolone and/or progesterone levels in relation to endometrial and ovarian cancer risks have been infrequently evaluated. To address this, we utilized a sensitive and reliable assay to quantify...

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev . 2021 Apr; 30(6):1100-1105. PMID: 33827983
Background: The role of progestogens in colorectal cancer development is poorly characterized. To address this, our group developed a highly sensitive assay to measure concentrations of seven markers of endogenous...

Cancer Causes Control . 2021 Mar; 32(6):587-595. PMID: 33689082
Purpose: Since the 1960s, increasing oral contraceptive (OC) use has mirrored decreasing ovarian cancer incidence. The impact of intrauterine devices (IUDs) on cancer risk is less well established. With improved...
