Possible associations between childbearing and the risk of brain cancer were explored in a case-control study ''nested'' within a large nationwide cohort defined by the Swedish Fertility Registry. Among women born between 1925-1975, 1,088 patients with meningiomas and 1,657 patients with gliomas wer
A case-control study investigating risk factors for childhood brain tumors was conducted in the Ile de France (Paris region). During a 2-year period ( 1985-1987) I09 newly diagnosed cases were identified and, of these, 75 could be interviewed. In the same region, I I 3 population controls, frequenc
## BACKGROUND. The highly polymorphic HRAS1 minisatellite locus, located 1 kilobase downstream from the H-ras1 gene, has been associated with increased susceptibility to a variety of cancers. Microsatellite instability (MI), another molecular abnormality observed in human neoplasms, most likely re
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The current analysis of outcomes in a large series of adult patients with intracranial ependymal tumors contributes to the characterization of the primary prognostic factors and to the therapeutic management of this rare disease, for which limited information is available
## Abstract The majority of suspected occupational risk factors for adult brain tumours have yet to be confirmed as etiologically relevant. Within an international caseβcontrol study on brain tumours, lifelong occupational histories and information on exposures to specific substances were obtained
