  • Methodological issues in a prospective study on plasma concentrations of persistent organic pollutants and pancreatic cancer risk within the EPIC cohort
    Gasull Panadès, Magda; Pumarega Rodríguez, José Antonio; Iglesias Coma, Mar; Kühn, Tilman; Porta Serra, Miquel (Elsevier, 2019)
    BACKGROUND: The use of biomarkers of environmental exposure to explore new risk factors for pancreatic cancer presents clinical, logistic, and methodological challenges that are also relevant in research on other complex ...
  • Number of Persistent Organic Pollutants Detected at High Concentrations in Blood Samples of the United States Population.
    Pumarega Rodríguez, José Antonio; Gasull Panadès, Magda; Lee, Duk-Hee; López, Tomàs; Porta Serra, Miquel (Public Library of Science (PLoS) , 2016)
    Human exposure to environmental chemicals as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is usually assessed considering each pollutant individually, with little attention to concentrations of mixtures in individuals or social ...
  • Pancreatic cancer risk and levels of trace elements
    Amaral, André F.S.; Porta Serra, Miquel; Silverman, Debra T.; Milne, Roger L.; Kogevinas, Manolis; Rothman, Nathaniel; Cantor, Kenneth P; Jackson, Brian P.; Pumarega Rodríguez, José Antonio; López, Tomàs; Carrato, Alfredo; Guarner, Luisa; Real, Francisco X.; Malats i Riera, Núria (BMJ Publishing Group, 2012)
    Background and Aims: Knowledge on the aetiology of exocrine pancreatic cancer (EPC) is scant. The best established risk factor for EPC is tobacco smoking. Among other carcinogens, tobacco contains cadmium, a metal previously ...
