- Burden of hospitalizations in four adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivor populations in the United States, 2006-2020. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 15. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: While hospitalizations decline as time from diagnosis elapses across health system settings and states, nearly 1 in 5 AYA cancer survivors experience hospitalization in early survivorship.

- Joint Associations of Abdominal Obesity, General Obesity, and Smoking with Bladder Cancer Risk Among Postmenopausal Women: A Nationwide Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 13. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Both abdominal and general obesity were associated with higher bladder cancer risk in postmenopausal women, with substantially greater risk among those with concurrent smoking exposure. These findings emphasize the importance of obesity prevention and smoking cessation in reducing risk in this underrecognized population.

- Hispanic and Asian American/Pacific Islander ethnic enclave, neighborhood socioeconomic status, and renal cell carcinoma incidence in California. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 13. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Hispanic and AAPI individuals living in higher-nSES neighborhoods had higher RCC incidence, while Hispanic individuals living in less ethnically distinct neighborhoods had higher RCC incidence. These patterns may reflect differences in healthcare access, diagnostic intensity, and neighborhood-related etiologic factors.

- Income Dynamics and Incident Esophageal Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 12. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Higher income variability, persistently low income, and income decline over the 5-year income assessment period were independently associated with increased EC risk.

- Progression to castration-resistance and metastatic disease following androgen deprivation therapy for biochemical recurrence after prostate cancer surgery. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 12. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: In this large national cohort of men with biochemical recurrence after surgery, most did not develop metastatic disease during nearly 10 years of follow up and one in four patients were treated with ADT. The association between ADT and adjusted outcomes likely reflects more aggressive disease among men selected for hormonal therapy.

- Individual and Occupational Factors Associated with Receipt of Guideline-Concordant Cancer Screening in California Firefighters. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Firefighters who were younger (yet within eligibility age range), had not recently engaged in routine healthcare, and did not have a family history of cancer were less likely to be screened.

- INCREASED PREVALENCE OF PANCREATIC CYSTS IN NONSECRETOR (FUT2 NULL) INDIVIDUALS UNDER PANCREATIC SURVEILLANCE. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: IPMN is more prevalent in FUT2-null patients under pancreas surveillance, but the increased FUT2-null prevalence is not observed in patients with IPMN with carcinoma.

- Indigenous Strengths, Community Care, and Cancer Disparities: Insights from Talking Circles with American Indian Tribes in North Carolina. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Enduring community networks, faith traditions, and indigenous healing practices are foundational to shaping how NC American Indian communities experience cancer. However, culturally responsive healthcare and improved access to quality care are needed to meet American Indian cancer care needs.

- Associations of periprostatic adipose tissue measures obtained post-androgen deprivation therapy with prostate tumor aggressiveness and gene expression profiles. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Greater total pelvic adipose tissue quantity and higher PPAT density were associated with increased tumor aggressiveness among men with prostate cancer. Exploratory analyses identified tumor glucose and lipid metabolism as potential contributing mechanisms.

- Associations of caregiver burden with prostate cancer survivor quality of life in the Detroit Research on Cancer Survivors (ROCS) cohort. [Journal Article]Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2026 Oct 06. [Online ahead of print]CE
- CONCLUSIONS: Lower caregiver burden was associated with higher prostate cancer survivor QoL.
