Rohrmann S, Linseisen J, Becker N, et al., 2002, Cooking of meat and fish in Europe--results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)., Eur J Clin Nutr, Vol: 56, Pages: 1216-1230, ISSN: 0954-3007
OBJECTIVES: There is epidemiologic evidence that the consumption of fried, grilled or barbecued meat and fish that are well-done or browned may be associated with an increased cancer risk. These high-temperature cooking methods are thought to be surrogates for mutagens and carcinogens produced in meat and fish, eg heterocyclic amines or polycyclic hydrocarbons. Since data on food cooking methods are scarce, the aim of this study was to describe the variation in meat and fish cooking methods in different parts of Europe. DESIGN: Using a standardized 24 h recall from a sub-sample of the EPIC cohort (35 644 persons, 35-75 y old), mean daily intake of meat and fish prepared by different cooking methods and the relative contribution of the cooking methods to the overall cooking of meat and fish was calculated. RESULTS: Whereas frying was more often noted in northern Europe, roasting and stir frying were more often used in the south. Concerning high-temperature cooking methods, their frequency of application varies between 15% in the EPIC cohort of North-Italy and 49% in the cohort of The Netherlands. Average consumption of fried, grilled and barbecued meat and fish ranges from a low of 12 g/day in the centres in southern Spain to a high of 91 g/day in northern Spain. CONCLUSION: High variation in both the kind of meat/fish consumed as well as its cooking methods is observed within EPIC. In order to use this variation for the evaluation of the impact of cooking methods on cancer risk, a questionnaire on meat and fish cooking methods is being developed and could be applied in the whole EPIC cohort.

Context - The "Standards, Options and Recommendations" (SOR) project, started in 1993, is a collaboration between the Federation of the French Cancer Centres (FNCLCC), the 20 French Cancer Centres and specialists from French Public Universities, General Hospitals and Private Clinics. The main objective is the development of clinical practice guidelines to improve the quality of health care and outcome for cancer patients. The methodology is based on literature review and critical appraisal by a multidisciplinary group of experts, with feedback from specialists in cancer care delivery. Objectives - To develop clinical practice guidelines according to the definitions of Standards, Options and Recommendations for the nutritional management of the head and neck cancer patients. Methods - Data have been identified by literature search using Medline® and the expert groups personal reference lists. Once the guidelines were defined, the document was submitted for review to 121 independent reviewers, and to the medical committees of the 20 French Cancer Centres. Results - The main recommendations for the nutritional management of head and neck cancer patients are that 1) nutritional management prevents undernutrition, improves quality of life, reduces adverse effects of the treatment and prevents treatment delay; 2) the nutritional management of the head and neck cancer patient must be done before, during and after cancer treatment; 3) before treatment, the weight of the patient must be assessed: 10 % of weight loss in 6 months requires an urgent nutritional intervention; 4) during radiation therapy, feeding should be adapted to various characteristics such as swallowing capacities, side effects of the treatment, age; 5) during chemotherapy, nutrition must be checked and assessed at each cycle; 6) during surgery, enteral feeding must be stopped and nasogastric feeding progressively introduced starting on day 1 postoperatively. The quality of feed must be adequa

Rinaldi S, Geay A, Déchaud H, et al., 2002, Validity of free testosterone and free estradiol determinations in serum samples from postmenopausal women by theoretical calculations, Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention, Vol: 11, Pages: 1065-1071, ISSN: 1055-9965
In this study, we validated measurements of free testosterone (fT) and free estradiol (fE2) concentrations calculated from total serum concentrations of testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), measured by direct, commercial radioimmunoassays, by comparison with reference measurements obtained by dialysis plus an in-house radioimmunoassay after extraction and chromatographic purification. The study was conducted in serum samples from 19 postmenopausal women who were part of an ongoing prospective cohort study. We also performed sensitivity analyses to examine the robustness of the theoretical calculations. Sensitivity analyses showed that in this population, competitive binding of dihydrotestosterone and total T could be ignored in the calculation of fE2, and competitive binding by dihydrotestosterone does not need to be taken into account for calculation of fT. Furthermore, variations in albumin and SHBG concentrations had negligible effects on fT and fE2 calculations. Values of fT and fE2, calculated from total T and E2 concentrations obtained by the same in-house radioimmunoassay used for the dialysis method, correlated highly with the measurements by dialysis (Pearson's coefficients of correlation above 0.97). When calculating fT and fE2 using total T and total E2 concentrations obtained by different direct radioimmunoassays, almost all kits gave good correlations with the reference method for fT (Pearson's r > 0.83), but only a few gave good correlations for fE2 (Diagnostic System Laboratories and DiaSorin; r > 0.80). The direct radioimmunoassays giving the best correlation for fT and fE2 with the dialysis method were those that best measured total concentrations of T and E2. Furthermore, mean values of fT and fE2 corresponded well to mean values by the reference method if SHBG measurements were also well calibrated. We conclude that in postmenopausal women, theoretical calculations are valid for the determination of fT a

Objective: To evaluate under- and overreporting and their determinants in the EPIC 24-hour diet recall (24-HDR) measurements collected in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: Cross-sectional analysis. 24-HDR measurements were obtained by means of a standardised computerised interview program (EPIC-SOFT). The ratio of reported energy intake (EI) to estimated basal metabolic rate (BMR) was used to ascertain the magnitude, impact and determinants of misreporting. Goldberg's cut-off points were used to identify participants with physiologically extreme low or high energy intake. At the aggregate level the value of 1.55 for physical activity level (PAL) was chosen as reference. At the individual level we used multivariate statistical techniques to identify factors that could explain EI/BMR variability. Analyses were performed by adjusting for weight, height, age at recall, special diet, smoking status, day of recall (weekday vs. weekend day) and physical activity. Setting: Twenty-seven redefined centres in the 10 countries participating in the EPIC project. Subjects: In total, 35955 men and women, aged 35-74 years, participating in the nested EPIC calibration sub-studies. Results: While overreporting has only a minor impact, the percentage of subjects identified as extreme underreporters was 13.8% and 10.3% in women and men, respectively. Mean EI/BMR values in men and women were 1.44 and 1.36 including all subjects, and 1.50 and 1.44 after exclusion of misreporters. After exclusion of misreporters, adjusted EI/BMR means were consistently less than 10% different from the expected value of 1.55 for PAL (except for women in Greece and in the UK), with overall differences equal to 4.0% and 7.4% for men and women, respectively. We modelled the probability of being an underreporter in association with several individual characteristics. After adjustment for age, height, special diet, smoking status, day of recall and physical activit
