Declarations
:
: Informed consent was obtained before the beginning of the FTC studies in 1975, and upon every contact with the study subjects. When clinical investigations were undertaken with sampling of biological material, written informed consent was obtained. Ethics approval of these procedures was provided in multiple studies, the last one on the transfer of biological samples to the THL Biobank by the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa ethics board in 2018 (#1799/2017). Permission for register linkage to the Finnish Cancer Registry was given by the Finnish Social and Health Data Permit Authority Findata (latest THL/6353/14.06.00/2023).
: The two Danish twin studies (LSADT and MADT) were approved by the Regional Committees on Health Research Ethics for Southern Denmark (S-VF-19980072), and written informed consents were obtained from all participants.
