BRCA2 mutations in a population-based series of patients with ocular melanoma
Scott RJ; Vajdic CM; Armstrong BK; Ainsworth CJ; Meldrum CJ; Aitken JF; Kricker APublished 2002We studied the BRCA2 gene for germline mutations in 71 of 99 patients (72%) with ocular melanoma who were diagnosed consecutively in Australia in 1997 and 1998. Patients considered for our study fulfilled one of the following ...Article -
Breast cancer in New South Wales in 1972-1995: tumor size and the impact of mammographic screening
Kricker A; Farac K; Smith DP; Sweeny A; McCredie M; Armstrong BKPublished 1999To examine the use of mammographic screening in women in New South Wales (NSW), we measured uptake of initial mammograms and estimated the proportions of breast cancers that were screen detected. To see if mammographic ...Article -
Breast conservation, mastectomy and axillary surgery in New South Wales women in 1992 and 1995
Kricker A; Haskill J; Armstrong BKPublished 2001To measure the increase in uptake of BCT in NSW and its determinants, we examined Cancer Registry records of 2020 women with breast cancer in 1992 and 2883 in 1995 linked to records of their surgical treatment in the NSW ...Article -
Chromosomal gains and losses in ocular melanoma detected by comparative genomic hybridization in an Australian population-based study
Vajdic CM; Hutchins AM; Kricker A; Aitken JF; Armstrong BK; Hayward NK; Armes JEPublished 2003To define the location of potential oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in ocular melanoma we carried out comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis on a population-based series of 25 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded ...Article -
A design for cancer case-control studies using only incident cases: experience with the GEM study of melanoma
Begg CB; Zanetti R; Gallagher RP; Dwyer T; Rebbeck TR; Busam K; From L; Berwick M; Hummer AJ; Mujumdar U; Armstrong BK; Kricker A; Marrett LD; Millikan RC; Gruber SB; Culver HAPublished 2006BACKGROUND: The population-based case-control study is not suited to the evaluation of rare genetic (or environmental) factors. The use of a novel case-control design in which cases have second primaries and controls are ...Article -

Early Life UV and Risk of Basal and Squamous Cell Carcinoma in New South Wales, Australia
Kricker A; Weber MF; Sitas F; Banks E; Rahman B; Goumas C; Kabir A; Armstrong BKPublished 2017Sun exposure is the main cause of squamous (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) although pattern and amount differ by cancer type, and sun sensitivity is the major host risk factor. Our study investigated risk factors and ...Open AccessArticle -
Epidemiology of solar radiation and skin cancer.

The epidemiology of UV induced skin cancer
Armstrong BK; Kricker APublished 2001There is persuasive evidence that each of the three main types of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and melanoma, is caused by sun exposure. The incidence rate of each is higher in ...Article -
Eye color and cutaneous nevi predict risk of ocular melanoma in Australia
Vajdic CM; Kricker A; Giblin M; McKenzie J; Aitken J; Giles GG; Armstrong BKPublished 2001Ethnicity, cutaneous nevi and eye color are generally accepted risk factors for melanoma of the eye, although case-control studies have produced conflicting results. We sought to determine the constitutional risk factors ...Article -
Familial aggregation of melanoma risks in a large population-based sample of melanoma cases
Begg CB; Klotz JB; Zanetti R; Gallagher RP; Dwyer T; Rebbeck TR; Berwick M; Hummer A; Mujumdar U; Armstrong BK; Kricker A; Marrett LD; Millikan RC; Gruber SB; Anton-Culver HPublished 2004OBJECTIVE: Melanoma has been shown in numerous studies to be associated with sun exposure, and with host phenotypic factors of genetic origin. In this study we use information from a large series of incident cases of ...Article -
Incidence of ocular melanoma in Australia from 1990 to 1998
Vajdic CM; Kricker A; Giblin M; McKenzie J; Aitken J; Giles GG; Armstrong BKPublished 2003Routinely collected incidence data have often lacked specific identification of ocular melanoma in the past and with increasing diagnosis and management of this disease by noninvasive techniques may now underestimate the ...Article -
Occupational exposure to power frequency magnetic fields and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Karipidis K; Kaldor J; Kricker A; Benke G; Sim M; Fritschi L; Yost M; Armstrong B; Hughes AM; Grulich A; Vajdic CMPublished 2006OBJECTIVES: To investigate the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) using a job-exposure matrix (JEM) to assess exposure to occupational magnetic fields at the power frequencies of 50/60 Hz. METHODS: The study population ...Article -

Ocular melanoma is not associated with CDKN2A or MC1R variants--a population-based study
Vajdic C; Kricker A; Duffy DL; Aitken JF; Stark M; ter Huurne JA; Martin NG; Armstrong BK; Hayward NKPublished 2003Germline variants in the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R) and the p16 gene (CDKN2A) are associated with an increased risk of cutaneous melanoma. The frequency of these germline variants was examined in a population-based, ...Article -
