Nair-Shalliker V; Yap S; Nunez C; Egger S; Rodger J; Patel M; O'Connell DL; Sitas F; Armstrong BK; Smith DPPublished 2017Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men worldwide. The relationships between PC and possible risk factors for PC cases (n = 1,181) and male controls (n = 875) from the New South Wales (NSW) ...Article -
The association between personal sun exposure, serum vitamin D and global methylation in human lymphocytes in a population of healthy adults in South Australia
Nair-Shalliker V; Dhillon V; Clements M; Armstrong BK; Fenech MPublished 2014BACKGROUND: There is a positive association between solar UV exposure and micronucleus frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and this association may be stronger when serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are ...Article -
The association of ultraviolet radiation-B (305 nm), season of diagnosis, and latitude on the survival outcome of prostate cancer in the high UV environment of Australia
Nair-Shalliker V; Smith DP; Egger S; Clements MS; Rahman MB; Armstrong BKPublished 2013BACKGROUND: Positive associations between sun exposure and cancer survival have been observed in regions of high latitudes, where ambient solar ultraviolet (SUV) radiation is generally low. PURPOSE: We examined the effects ...Article -

The Cancer, Lifestyle and Evaluation of Risk Study (CLEAR): Rationale and design of an unmatched "case-spouse control" study of over 10,000 participants in New South Wales, Australia
Sitas F; Yap S; Egger S; Christian K; Hodgkinson V; Barton M; Banks E; Canfell K; O'Connell DL; Nair-Shalliker VPublished 2015INTRODUCTION: The New South Wales (NSW) Cancer, Lifestyle and Evaluation of Risk Study (CLEAR) is an open epidemiological bioresource, using an all cancer unmatched case-spouse control design. Participant characteristics ...Article -
Does vitamin D protect against DNA damage?
Nair-Shalliker V; Armstrong BK; Fenech MPublished 2012Vitamin D is a secosteroid best known for its role in maintaining bone and muscle health. Adequate levels of vitamin D may also be beneficial in maintaining DNA integrity. This role of vitamin D can be divided into a primary ...Article -
Factors associated with prostate specific antigen testing in Australians: Analysis of the New South Wales 45 and Up Study
Nair-Shalliker V; Bang A; Weber MF; Goldsbury DE; Caruana M; Emery J; Banks E; Canfell K; O'Connell DL; Smith DPPublished 2018Australia has one of the highest incidence rates of prostate cancer (PC) worldwide, due in part to widespread prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing. We aimed to identify factors associated with PSA testing in Australian ...Article -
The Future of Liquid Chromatographic Separations Should Include Post Column Derivatisations: The perspective from the analysis of vitamin D
Jones A; Nair-Shalliker V; Dennis GR; Shalliker RAPublished 2018The coupling of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with post column derivatisation (HPLC-PCD) will increase the sensitivity of an instrument to the target molecule, improve specificity by selective derivatisation ...Article -
An initial melanoma diagnosis may increase the subsequent risk of prostate cancer: Results from the New South Wales Cancer Registry
Cole-Clark D; Nair-Shalliker V; Bang A; Rasiah K; Chalasani V; Smith DPPublished 2018Emerging evidence suggests that a diagnosis of cutaneous melanoma (CM) may be associated with prostate cancer (PC) incidence. We examined if the incidence of CM was associated with an increased subsequent risk of PC. We ...Article -
Obesity, physical activity and cancer risks: Results from the Cancer, Lifestyle and Evaluation of Risk Study (CLEAR)
Nunez C; Bauman A; Egger S; Sitas F; Nair-Shalliker VPublished 2017Introduction Physical activity (PA) has been associated with lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, but the evidence linking PA with lower cancer risk is inconclusive. We examined the independent and interactive effects ...Article -
Personal Sun Exposure and Serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D Concentrations
Nair-Shalliker V; Clements M; Fenech M; Armstrong BKPublished 2013Solar ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB) is essential for epidermal vitamin D production. We aimed to quantitate the relationship between personal solar UV exposure and serum 25hydroxy vitamin D (25[OH]D) concentration. Blood ...Article -
Physical activity, obesity and sedentary behaviour and the risks of colon and rectal cancers in the 45 and up study
Nunez C; Nair-Shalliker V; Egger S; Sitas F; Bauman APublished 2018Background Obesity and physical activity (PA) are predictors of colon (CC) and rectal (RC) cancers. Prolonged sitting is also emerging as a potential predictor for these cancers. Little knowledge exists about the interactive ...Article -
