Abstract excerpt
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are widely used to treat anemia, but their on-target effects on tumor risk via erythropoietin (EPO)/erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) signaling remain debated. This study aims to evaluate the potential causal relationship between EPO signaling and the risk of 14 site-specific cancers using a drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. We proxied EPO signaling using...
