Associations between calcium and magnesium intake and the risk of incident gastric cancer: a prospective cohort analysis of the National Institutes of Health-American Association of Retired Persons (NIH-AARP) Diet and Health Study.
Gastric cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Identifying dietary and other modifiable disease determinants has important implications for risk attenuation in susceptible individuals. The primary aim of the investigators was to estimate the association between dietary and supplemental intakes of calcium and magnesium and the risk of incident gastric cancer. They conducted a prospective cohort analysis of the National Institutes of Health-American Association of Retired Persons Diet and Health Study.

Prior breast density awareness, knowledge, and communication in a health system-embedded behavioral intervention trial.
This study examined knowledge of breast density as an important breast cancer risk factor among a set of women in a health system-embedded trial who had clinically elevated breast cancer risk 1 year before state-mandated density disclosure. The majority of the women (91%) had heard of breast density and were aware of its masking effect (87%). Only 60% had ever discussed their breast density with a provider.

Population-based assessment of the association between magnetic resonance imaging background parenchymal enhancement and future primary breast cancer risk.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate comparative associations of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) and mammographic breast density with subsequent breast cancer risk. The investigators concluded that BPE was associated with future invasive breast cancer risk independent of breast density. They suggest that BPE should be considered for risk prediction models for women undergoing breast MRI.

Risk of malignancy associated with paediatric use of tumour necrosis factor inhibitors.
The objective of the study was to determine whether tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) use is associated with an increased rate of incident malignancy compared with no TNFi use in the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (pIBD) and paediatric plaque psoriasis (pPsO). The authors concluded that children diagnosed with JIA, pIBD and pPsO had an increased rate of malignancy compared with the general population, but treatment with TNFi did not appear to significantly further increase the risk compared with no TNFi use.

Risk of jaw osteonecrosis after intravenous bisphosphonates in cancer patients and patients without cancer.
The researchers compared the risk of jaw osteonecrosis after intravenous (IV) bisphosphonate administered to patients with cancer vs patients without cancer. During follow-up, 40 (0.42 percent) out of 9,482 patients with cancer developed probable jaw osteonecrosis compared with 8 (0.05 percent) out of 16,046 patients without cancer.
