Tobacco smoking and gastric cancer: meta-analyses of published data versus pool...
Ferro, A; Morais, S; Rota, M; Pelucchi, C; Bertuccio, P; Bonzi, R; Galeone, C; Zhang, ZF; Matsuo, K; Ito, H; Hu, J; Johnson, KC; Yu, GP; Palli, DTobacco smoking is one of the main risk factors for gastric cancer, but the magnitude of the association estimated by conventional systematic reviews and meta-analyses might be inaccurate, due to heterogeneous reporting of data and publication bias. We aimed to quantify the combined impact of publication-related biases, and heterogeneity in data analysis or presentation, in the summary estimates obtained from c...
Alcohol intake and gastric cancer: Meta-analyses of published data versus indiv...
Ferro, A; Morais, S; Rota, M; Pelucchi, C; Bertuccio, P; Bonzi, R; Galeone, C; Zhang, ZF; Matsuo, K; Ito, H; Hu, J; Johnson, KC; Yu, GP; Palli, DBackground: Individual participant data pooled analyses allow access to non-published data and statistical reanalyses based on more homogeneous criteria than meta-analyses based on systematic reviews. We quantified the impact of publication-related biases and heterogeneity in data analysis and presentation in summary estimates of the association between alcohol drinking and gastric cancer. Methods: We compared ...
Cigarette smoking and gastric cancer in the Stomach Cancer Pooling (StoP) Project
Praud, D; Rota, M; Pelucchi, C; Bertuccio, P; Rosso, T; Galeone, C; Zhang, ZF; Matsuo, K; Ito, H; Hu, JF; Johnson, KC; Yu, GP; Palli, D; Ferraroni, MTobacco smoking is a known cause of gastric cancer, but several aspects of the association remain imprecisely quantified. We examined the relation between cigarette smoking and the risk of gastric cancer using a uniquely large dataset of 23 epidemiological studies within the Stomach cancer Pooling (StoP) Project', including 10290 cases and 26145 controls. We estimated summary odds ratios (ORs) and the correspon...
Alcohol consumption and gastric cancer risk - A pooled analysis within the StoP...
Rota, M; Pelucchi, C; Bertuccio, P; Matsuo, K; Zhang, ZF; Ito, H; Hu, J; Johnson, KC; Palli, D; Ferraroni, M; Yu, GP; Muscat, J; Lunet, N; Peleteiro, BAn association between heavy alcohol drinking and gastric cancer risk has been recently reported, but the issue is still open to discussion and quantification. We investigated the role of alcohol drinking on gastric cancer risk in the “Stomach cancer Pooling (StoP) Project,” a consortium of epidemiological studies. A total of 9,669 cases and 25,336 controls from 20 studies from Europe, Asia and North America we...
The stomach cancer pooling (StoP) project: study design and presentation
Pelucchi, C; Lunet, N; Boccia, S; Zhang, ZF; Praud, D; Boffetta, P; Levi, F; Matsu, K; Ito, H; Hu, J; Johnson, KC; Ferraroni, M; Yu, GP; Peleteiro, BGastric cancer affects about one million people per year worldwide, being the second leading cause of cancer mortality. The study of its etiology remains therefore a global issue as it may allow the identification of major targets, besides eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection, for primary prevention. It has however received little attention, given its comparatively low incidence in most high-income coun...
