1 Inferring causality in observational epidemiology: Breast Cancer Risk as an Example Mary Beth Terry, PhD Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Sciences

2 Cancer Genes vs Environmental Risk Factors Risk Factor Cancer Site Tobacco Lung Asbestos Lung H. Pylori Infection Gastric Cancer P53 Rb MLH1 MSH2 BRCA1 BRCA2 APC and many, many others G E Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection Vinyl Chloride Hepatitis B and C Infection Maternal Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Use Ionizing Radiation Cervical Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Anal Cancer Liver Liver Vaginal Adenocarcinoma Leukemia All found through observational designs

3 Studying GXE in those at highest risk to make inferences that are valid for the population G E

4 Evidence- based Medical Research Inference Efficiency Randomized Control Trial Cohort Case- Control Cross- Sec8onal Generalizability

5 Enriched cohorts can be smaller and follow for less time

6 Family-based Cohorts Have Power at the Tail Prospective Family Study Cohort (PROF-SC) Terry MB et al Int J Epidemiol. 2015

7 So what about the Environment and Breast Cancer? Lindsey A. Torre et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2016;25:16-27 Gosavi RA, Knudsen GA, Birnbaum, LS, Pedersen LC. EHP 2013 Zhang J, Huang Y, Link K, Wu K. PLOS ONE 2015 March 21, 2017 Page 7

8 Most empirical evidence relatively modest 1) Most studies fail to factor in windows of breast cancer susceptibility 2) Most studies estimated in average risk cohorts More modest the evidence, the greater the need for replication across DIFFERENT study designs to rule out the role of BIAS (information, selection and confounding) March 21, 2017 Page 8

9 Most Breast Cancer Risk Factors Are Modest < 1 < 2-Fold > 2-Fold NSAIDs Early Menarche Family History Tamoxifen Physical Activity Never Pregnant Never Breastfed Late Age at First Birth Late Menopause Hormone Use (HRT, OC) Overweight Alcohol Benign Breast Disease Mammographic Density March 21, 2017 Page 9

13 So what about the Environmental Risk Factors in Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer? What else can help explain risk in high risk women? What else can be used to improve risk assessment? Fraga et al. PNAS 2005

March 21, 2017 Page 18

19 Summary and Implications 1) Most causal factors for cancer found through observational designs 2) Family-based cohorts are an efficient design to investigate GXE 3) Larger associations are less likely driven by bias 4) Just like with genes, finding GXE in familybased studies, results still generalizable to those without a family history March 21, 2017 Page 19
