    Abstract Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome with exceptionally high lifetime cancer risks, caused primarily by germline TP53 variants. Early-onset breast cancer is the most common cancer in women with LFS. Associations between female reproductive factors and breast cancer risk have been widely studied in the general population and BRCA1/2 mutation carriers but not in LFS. We evaluated whether reproductive factors are associated with breast cancer in LFS. Questionnaire data were collected for 152 women with confirmed germline TP53 variants enrolled in the National Cancer Institute's LFS study (NCT01443468); of which, 85 had breast cancer, confirmed by pathology/medical reports. Fisher's exact test and Cox proportional hazards were used to calculate the effect of reproductive factors on breast cancer risk. Lifetime breastfeeding for at least 7 months was associated with lower breast cancer risk (hazard ratio [HR] 0.57, p = 0.05). Parity did not independently change breast cancer risk (HR 1.08, p = 0.8) but suggested an increased risk with older age at first live birth (HR 2.14, p = 0.05). Age at menarche (HR 1.09, p = 0.24) and use of oral contraceptives (HR 0.88; p = 0.7) did not significantly affect breast cancer risk. In this first study of reproductive factors and breast cancer in women with LFS, breastfeeding was observed to be protective against breast cancer risk, especially with at least 7 months of lifetime breastfeeding. Older age at first live birth was suggested to slightly increase breast cancer risk. Larger prospective studies of reproductive factors are warranted in women with LFS before making definitive clinical recommendations.

    Abstract Background: The initial step for noncardia gastric carcinogenesis is atrophic gastritis, driven by either Helicobacter pylori infection or autoimmunity. In recent decades, the prevalence rates of these two major causes declined and increased, respectively, with changes in Western lifestyles. We therefore assessed gastric cancer incidence trends for US race/ethnic groups, 1995-2013.
    Methods: Age-standardized rates (ASRs) from 45 North American Association of Central Cancer Tumor Registries were summarized by estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Age period cohort models supplemented standard descriptive techniques and projected future trends.
    Results: There were 137 447 noncardia cancers in 4.4 billion person-years of observation. Among non-Hispanic whites, the ASR was 2.2 per 100 000 person-years, with an EAPC of -2.3% (95% CI = -2.0% to -2.6%). Notwithstanding this overall decline, EAPCs rose 1.3% (95% CI = 0.6% to 2.1%) for persons younger than age 50 years and fell -2.6% (95% CI = -2.4% to -2.9%) for older individuals. These converging trends manifested a birth cohort effect more pronounced among women than men, with incidence among women born in 1983 twofold (95% CI = 1.1-fold to 3.6-fold) greater than those born in 1951. Age interaction was also statistically significant among Hispanic whites, with slightly increasing vs decreasing EAPCs for younger and older individuals, respectively. Incidence declined regardless of age for other races. Current trends foreshadow expected reversals in both falling incidence and male predominance among non-Hispanic whites.
    Conclusions: Dysbiosis of the gastric microbiome associated with modern living conditions may be increasing risk of autoimmune gastritis and consequent noncardia cancer. The changing face by age and sex of gastric cancer warrants analytical studies to identify potential causal mechanisms.

    Abstract Objective: To describe the key contributions of Dr. Joseph K. McLaughlin, Outstanding Scientist of 2004.
    Methods: We review the scientific literature and indicate how epidemiologic research conducted by Dr. McLaughlin has clarified long-term health effects among persons with breast and other medical implants.
    Results: Dr. Joseph K. McLaughlin has conducted and directed more research into the long-term effects of human implants than any other scientist worldwide. His insights greatly elucidated the long-term health consequences associated with a variety of implanted devices, including silicone and saline breast implants, hip and knee replacements, temporomandibular and finger joint devices, and pacemakers. By initiating and bringing to fruition a series of innovative epidemiologic investigations, Dr. McLaughlin and his colleagues have provided the scientific basis for making judgments about alleged adverse health effects following cosmetic, reconstructive, and reparative implant surgery.
    Conclusions: Dr. McLaughlin's seminal investigations have provided reassurance that breast and other implants have not demonstrably increased the risk of cancer or other systemic diseases. The comprehensive and rigorous nature of this research merits his selection as Outstanding Scientist of 2004.
