INTRODUCTION: Humans are widely exposed to estrogenically active phthalates, parabens, and phenols, raising concerns about potential effects on breast tissue and breast cancer risk. We sought to determine the association of circulating seru…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether the protective effect of premenopausal bilateral oophorectomy on breast cancer risk is mitigated by estrogen therapy use after surgery. METHODS: In pooled data from four population-based case-control studies …

Bilateral oophorectomy is often performed during hysterectomy for benign conditions and can reduce breast cancer risk by 20%-50% when performed at younger ages. Accuracy of estimating the decrease in breast cancer risk associated with bilat…

Endometrial cancer is associated with endogenous and exogenous estrogen excess. Some investigators have posited that electromagnetic fields may influence cancer risk through estrogenic hormonal mechanisms; however, there have been no studie…
