Declarations
:
: Our study conformed to the ethical standards of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki and its later amendments. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University (No. 2012–438, No. 2014–44, No. 2016–86, No. 2017–251, No. 2018–320, No. 2020–1129), including the cooperating Chiba Prefectural Sawara Hospital, Chiba Rosai Hospital, Chiba Aoba Municipal Hospital, and Port Square Kashiwado Clinic. All participating studies, except the JPHC study, obtained written informed consent from all participants according to the protocols approved by their institutional ethical committees. The JPHC study was launched in 1990 before the enactment of ethical guidelines in Japan (2002); thus, obtaining written informed consent for blood sample collection (1990–1994) was not mandatory. After being provided with a written or verbal explanation, the participants were asked to provide blood for this study, and their informed consent was obtained in writing or verbally. Their verbal consent was recorded in the list during blood collection. Additionally, in accordance with the ethical guidelines enacted after blood collection, a research summary was published on the homepage, which guarantees the participants the opportunity to refuse participation (). The institutional ethical committees in National Cancer Center approved this study (Approved No. 2003–054).
