Territorial inequities in access to essential medicines for neglected tropical diseases in a decentralised European health system: a nationwide assessment in Spain

Abstract Background Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) represent an increasing but often overlooked challenge for European health systems owing to international mobility, migration, travel, and climate-related changes in disease ecology. Although effective treatments exist for mo...

Plasma proteomes of obesity and allometric body shapes in the EPIC cohort

Abstract General obesity (high body mass index, BMI) affects circulating proteins. Obesity-related outcomes, however, differ by body shape but waist and hip circumferences cannot distinguish abdominal from general obesity. We therefore used the allometric body shape index (ABSI),...

Prospective analysis of pre-diagnostic untargeted plasma metabolomics and risk of triple-negative breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 10–15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer, and its aetiology is poorly understood compared to other breast cancer subtypes. We applied untargeted metabolomics to identify novel biological pathways associated with TNBC risk and poten...

Colorectal Cancer Mortality Following an Organized Fecal Immunochemical Test–Based Screening Program

Importance Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Organized screening programs using the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) have been implemented to reduce CRC mortality through early detection. Objectives To evaluate the association betwee...
