Petros Grivas, Professor at the University of Washington, shared a post on X by Laura Bukavina, Urologic Oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic and Assistant Professor of Urologic Oncology at Case Western Reserve University, about a recent article they and colleagues authored, adding:
“Great to work with brilliant Laura Bukavina, Phil Abbosh, Sarah P. Psutka, and other stellar colleagues on this UK Biobank study! We still advocate for tobacco cessation/avoidance as the most important cancer prevention factor.”
Quoting Laura Bukavina‘s post:
“Congrats to Ilaha Isali and our team on our latest UK Biobank study.
We found that UGT1A6 rs17863783 can flip the script on bladder cancer risk: In heavy smokers (>30 pack-yrs): 80% lower risk (OR 0.20, CI 0.09–0.40) variant up UGT1A helping detoxify tobacco and industrial carcinogens.”
