Physical activity and risks of proximal and distal colon cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Although there is convincing epidemiological evidence that physical activity is
associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer, it is unclear whether physical activity is …

Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci
Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as
BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic …
