Cervical cancer (CC) with early metastasis of the primary tumor results in poor prognosis
and poor therapeutic outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNA molecules …

Background Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of
susceptibility variants, although most have been associated with small individual risk …

Background Evidence from observational studies of telomere length (TL) has been
conflicting regarding its direction of association with cancer risk. We investigated the causal …

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains the most common cancer in men. The proportion of all PCa
attributable to high-risk hereditary factors has been estimated to 5–15%. Recent landmark …

Telomeres at the termini of human chromosomes are shortened with each round of cell
division due to the “end replication problem” as well as oxidative stress. During …

Abstract Although, Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is uncommon in Arab countries, but
its incidence is raising due to increased exposure to diverse risk factors. Many of the NPC …

Background Studies have identified that the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene
polymorphism rs10069690 (C> T) is associated with cancer risk, but the results remain …

Keratinocyte cancers are the most common malignancy among people with European
ancestry, and are very common on sun-exposed areas of the head and neck. Incidence is …

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer mortality with relatively few
prognostic biomarkers. We investigated associations with overall survival for telomere length …

The chromosome 5p15. 33 has been reported as a susceptibility locus for lung cancer.
However, causal variants in this region have not been fully uncovered. In this study, we …
