Cancer diagnosis was confirmed through medical record review and classified as obesity-related (colorectal, gallbladder, kidney, multiple myeloma, thyroid, pancreatic, esophageal, gastric, liver, endometrial, ovarian and post-menopausal breast) or non-obesity-related. We fitted Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of the association between menstrual cycle characteristics and cancer incidence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title><jats:p>We documented 5794 incident cancer cases during 1\u200a646\u200a789 person-years of follow-up. After adjusting for BMI and other potential confounders, women reporting irregular cycles at age 29\u201346\u2009years had an 11% (95% CI: 2\u201321%) higher risk of total invasive cancer than women reporting very regular cycles at the same age. This association was limited to obesity-related cancers, with a 23% (95% CI: 9\u201339%) higher risk and was strongest for endometrial cancer (HR\u2009=\u20091.39; 95% CI: 1.09\u20131.77). Findings were comparable for cycle characteristics earlier in life and for menstrual cycle length. Very irregular cycles at age 14\u201317\u2009years were associated with significant increase in risk of colorectal cancer (HR\u2009=\u20091.36; 95% CI: 1.02\u20131.81).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study might be subject to recall bias for findings pertaining to cycle characteristics in adolescence and early adulthood, as these were retrospectively reported.

This association was not limited to gynecological cancers. Obesity-related cancers may need to be added to the spectrum of long-term health consequences of long or irregular cycles, possibly warranting targeted screening among women who experience long or irregular cycles in mid-adulthood.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST<\/jats:title><jats:p>This work was supported by grants U01 CA176726, U01 HL145386 and R01 HD096033 from the National Institutes of Health.
